About The Carnival Band
The Carnival Band is currently in a state of transition.
Musical director Marcos X and band manager Devon 8, both part of the group for eight years, are retiring from the band.
a brief history of the Carnival Band
The Carnival Band was founded by Dan Vie in 1997. In 1999 Marcos X was hired to become musical director, with Ross Barrett as lead horn. In 2003, the band made their first international tour to England and Germany.
In early 2006, Devon 8 became the general manager. She booked and handled the shows through 2006-2007, including the return to England and Germany, and the shows in France, the Basque Country, the eastern United States, and China.
A spontaneous performance in London, England, lead to the "internet phenomenon" of Traffic Wardens Need Love, created about a video on YouTube of the Carnival Band serenading traffic wardens.
As of August 2007, Marcos X and Devon 8 have departed from the group and the band is undergoing a transformation once again. Please check website for future updates.
