Legacy takes Flight

"Antoine revealed that the concept of Flight for his mas presentation came to him while on a ride at a theme park abroad. “I was on a ride called Soaring. It made you feel like you were a bird flying over the state of California. It was a wonderful experience,” he said.
With that experience at the top of his mind, the cultural visionary who has taken mas around the world from the islands—to Europe, Japan and the US—highlighted that sections will include Bird of Paradise, Monarch Butterfly, Victoria’s Angels, Titania and Oberon, Scarlet Macaw and Magic Dragons to name a few. He also said the designs would depict birds, butterflies, angels, fairies, mythical creatures and any other creature that has the ability to soar freely over the earth. With their eyes set on the 2012 Band of the Year prize, Antoine and his team at Legacy are working arduously to provide patrons with something spectacular for 2012. In C2K11, the band captured the King of Carnival title, placed first and second in the Individual of the Year category, reaped the reward of Uptown Band of the Year and placed third in the Large Band of the Year category.

Thanking his masqueraders and all others who’ve continued to support Legacy, Antoine said, in keeping with the band’s tag line of offering the best time ever to patrons, his team’s focus in 2012 is to provide masqueraders with all the necessary ingredients for a truly memorable Carnival. “We are constantly seeking new ways to enhance the Legacy Mas experience,” noted Antoine"
