My Favorites : Has to be Island vibes, and not because of those ever so popular wings but i have always loved those colours on a costume,lime green and different shades of blue...yep yep...we have got a winner :)
My likes in order of (best to ummm not sooo likey lol ) : island vibes,Carnival,Magic,Life,Love,Sea

Overall Thoughts: WOW!!!!!!! i think that should sum it up..lol Another bar is set. I absolutely love the colour Choices for Carnival's Headpiece and Island Vibes Costume.
As i have mentioned before,competition is very high this year as all the Mas bands have stepped up there game ...so far these presentations are screaming Trinidad Look out!!! ha ha ha ... Well done UCOM

Side Note!!!!!! So my only little grumble is the lack of originality in the use of the Butterfly Wings as it was the main theme For one of the Major Bands in Trinidad 'Tribe Carnival 2013' . It was so popular and heavily focused on at the beginning of this year that this just seems a copycat, despite the rest of the costume is not, and the wings work well, but when i saw it all i thought was Tribe, then i was won over by the colour choices of the costume. But still there was that pause and doubt because of that ' Copycat element' I do wonder if they couldn't have designed a different back pack.(just a thought)

UCOM is not the only band to showcase Wings for 2013 Release the Riddim also featured it as one of their sections for 2013

Nottinghill Carnival

Notting Carnival is one of Europe's Biggest Street festival and is always celebrated on the August Bank Holiday where every year the streets of West London come alive, with the sounds and smells of Europe’s biggest street festival. Twenty miles of vibrant colorful costumes surround over 40 static sound systems, hundreds of Caribbean food stalls,over 40,000 volunteers and over 1 million Notting Hill carnival revellers.

The Notting Hill Carnival usually gets under way on the Saturday with the steel band competition. Sunday is Kids’ Day. On the Bank Holiday Monday, the main parade takes place. It generally begins on Great Western Road, then winds its way along Chepstow Road, on to Westbourne Grove, and then Ladbroke Grove. In the evening, the floats leave the streets in procession, and people carry continue partying at the many Notting Hill Carnival after parties.
