A Grecian Temple, yep, in Antigua, that is what Beautiful People call their mas camp for carnival 2012. Prospective and existing mas players got an up close and personal look at Beautiful People’s costumes as the mas camp located on Queen Elizabeth Highway opened on Friday 27th April, and boy were they mesmerized by what they saw. The costumes under the theme “Angels Gods & Goddesses” were launch on the April 14th at Royal Antiguan.

In a ceremony that was saw band leader Calvin S, addressing the gathering and thanking past and present mas players and sponsors and also challenging them to play mas in responsible manner, setting positive examples for the nation’s children to follow, one that you can be proud of when you look back.  He also encouraged mas players to register with $100 being applied to any section you choose, and a special incentive to those who register early of being entitled to a discount if you register and pay in full by end of May.
