of our volunteers,” Trinidadian
Hector, who is designing the
band with her compatriot Debbie
Parris, told Caribbean Life
Wednesday night.
Hector said “Wonderland”
comprises three sections:
Queen of the Pack, Drink Me
and D Sassy Hatterz.
She said all sections comprise
female masqueraders,
with D Sassy Hatterz including
“a male costume.”
Up to 100 masqueraders are
expected in each section, Hector
said.
“We are performing at the
uttermost best this year,” she
said. “Over the years,” she
said.
Hector said Rhythm Catcher
International was formed in
2012 by band leader Trinidadian
Anton Reynolds “to allow
the West Indians to enjoy playing

of volunteers and members of
our community.”
After a year’s lay-off in 2017,
1199 SEIU Social Cultural Committee
returned to the parkway
last year with “Festivals.”
In 2016, Dyer said the band
placed first for medium junior
band and the same ranking for
medium adult band.
The band was formed in
2002 by “a group of staff and
members in the union and various
institutions, who felt there
was a need for representation
in the West Indian American
Day Parade,” Dyer said.
As in the past, Thurin said
DJ KSP Productions will provide
“the sound system and
level vibes on the road.”
The mas camp is located
at 2255 Bedford Ave., between
Snyder Avenue and Erasmus
