King & Queen

Mas Toronto's King of the Band

The Kings and Queens were in the spotlight tonight, where they belong! Tonight's King & Queen show at Lamport Stadium was said to be the most well-attended yet.

Trini-in-Toronto was working hard volunteering, so he was unable to take pictures. I arrived in time to only get a few pictures of the last few Queens and the Kings.

These works of art are 20-40 feet high and take hundreds of hours to design and build, not to mention cost thousands of dollars to produce.


Judges award points on: visual impact; authenticity; creativity; clarity of theme; presentation; and craftsmanship.








Saldenah's King of the Band





Iwer George performed afterwords to a very enthusiastic crowd.

Always held 2 days before the parade, King & Queen certainly gets me ready to jump up again.
