There was a recent band launching a few weeks ago and from the looks of things, it was a success. Viewing the band website, more sections are closed out and a few people I know visited the band house where options are now limited/scarce. In years past there was really no need to have a band launching in foreign to encourage masqueraders because foreign masqueraders are generally real thusty to play ah mas and to return home. With many more options of bands to play mas with and the disappointment with customer service, people are taking their time and weighing their options closely. Things were moving slow for this big band, but it appears that the recent marketing strategy was a huge success. This time last year they didnt have to do any extra work to solicit masqueraders, what a difference a year makes. I would hope all this extra work that they have been forced to do will trickle down into added efforts to satisfy their customers.
