Livewire International will be participating in the Grand Carnival Parade for Carnival 2011 with 'SXM We Love'. The group of close associates has, collectively, 19 years of experience in Carnival and in particular with troupe organization.
"We have worked with most of the major groups on the island both French and Dutch, and have traveled to the neighboring islands to produce costumes for both troupes and queen shows in Saba, St. Eustatius, Grenada and Anguilla," member of Livewire Rick Latouche said. "After taking the backseat for a few years (working behind the scenes with another troupe) We of Livewire International decided to step out once again for this year's celebration," he added.
Latouche said the inspiration for this year's theme was derived from all the "talk" from two of the major troupe leaders declining to participate in the parade this year questioning how good Carnival would be. "So we decided to try to fill the gap because it's "SXM We Love".
"SXM We Love" will consist of four dazzling sections, of which two will be specially dedication to two St. Maarten Icons. Latouche said "die-hard Carnival revelers who want to be part of this history making event should contact the troupe as soon as possible."
Livewire can be contacted by calling Latouche 554-5208, Marlon at 581-1625 or Kaishah 553-4210.
The group can be emailed at livewire-intl @hotmail.com. The mass camp is located at Umbrella Cactus Drive 1A in Sucker Garden (behind El Capitain club).
President of the St. Maarten Carnival Development Foundation (SCDF) Stuart Johnson said the foundation welcomes all troupes that want to participate in the parade for Carnival 2011 and is excited to have Livewire on board.
