2010 Designer Of The Year Renee Ratcliffe showed that she has no intention of resting on the success of last Crop Over season with the launch of her band under the theme Pride, at Paulo’s Churrasco do Brasil at St Lawrence, Friday night.
Ratcliffe indicated that last year her band contained 600 jumpers and this year she has reduced the sections to five from six with the intentions of putting 700 revelers on the road.
The band sections are Allegiance, Pride of Barbados, Dexter – a tribute to one of their former members, Sinister and St Andrews.
Part of the launch involved a display by some of the sections and some musical classics such as Boots and Hit It.
Ratcliffe, in a very upbeat presentation, said that she was very keen to get out early and like a great racehorse her band intended to maintain the pace to bring home the title. (KB)
