With more than a decade of consecutive wins at the Mashramani float parade, the Ministry of Education launched its annual Mashramani band on Thursday under the theme, ‘Blazing the trail of knowledge with transformative technology and inclusive education’.
During brief remarks, Head of the Unit for Allied Arts, Nicholas Fraser highlighted that this year the ministry will be competing in the medium band category.
“We have been winning the parade for quite some time. And this year, we will be upping the stakes a bit. We will be heading up in a higher weight category. So, from the small band category, we will be moving into the medium band category this year…,” Fraser noted.
A king and a queen and the individual male and female will be reflecting the various aspects of growth in the education sector.
Some 125 revelers will be participating in the ministry’s mash band this year.
Local artiste, Vanilla will be the main live performer on the ministry’s mash truck.
Speaking directly about the theme, Fraser highlighted that the ministry’s transformational journey will be seen in the costumes.
