Jewels de Carnaval Special Section and Front Line Phenomenon at Notting Hill Carnival.

Private/Special Section is a Carnival section in a major band, it is not a direct part of the band direct camp, but usually a separate group of persons/or person wishing to showcase in a particular band of choice. Most likely it is an all inclusive section where you pay one price and get your carnival costume, specially catered food and drinks. Packages may vary with free give-aways, the type of food and services offered.

The front-line is a costume in any section which may generally have a back pack, larger head-piece and or more adornments or parts and costs more than a 'regular' option, it may also be accompanied by additional freebies. The masquerader is generally entitled to what the special section is offering, in addition to what drinks, food and services the band is offering, but this varies from band to band.

The T&T phenomenon which took over Carnival a few years ago, has hit the Notting Hill Carnival in London with a bang.

Section Leader Bea Thomas who is directly responsible for the development of the new committee, is the driving force behind the development of Jewels de Carnaval has many years of experience within the Carnival arena as an administrator with Arawak Band. Additionally, she has experienced the 'other side of the fence' as a masquerader, portraying an individual costume each year for Notting Hill Carnival and actively participating in the Luton, Reading & Rotterdam, Barbados Crop Over & Trinidad & Tobago Carnivals. She is an avid supporter of Soca/Calypso music and seeks to assist in its promotion whenever an opportunity arises.
