The Rising Stars of Barracudas

 

Last week we had our second youth meeting, which was very productive indeed!We have decided to apply for funding from the Youth Opportunity Fund in order for the Barracudas teenagers to get involved with planning their own music, dance, stilt-walking, carnival make-up and costume-making workshops. The chosen name of this group of young Barracudas is ‘Barracudas’ Rising Stars’.

We also talked about how to get more people to join our band, and the ways that we discussed were visiting schools, arranging open evenings and advertising in local press. We also believe that a good way is to talk to people. So spread the word! 

One person also suggested that we should get Barracudas T-shirts printed, which we all thought sounded like a great idea, and we are currently looking into it.

Happy New Year 2008

Barracudas Carnival Band was originally founded in 1988, which means that we will be celebrating our 20th anniversary this year! Julie and Caroline are currently working on numerous funding applications, and we hope to make 2008 a very special year, with a full programme of workshops, activities and fantastic carnival!
