On Saturday 19th July, Calidoscopio Carnival Drummers in partnership with dancers from Solar School of Samba lead the parade at Derby Caribbean Carnival 2014.

It was a fantastic day, a big thank-you to everyone who helped make it happen! To Emma and Genevieve for leading, to Emma and Dylan for the fantastic new drum dressings, Phil and Andrea for carting the drums around and to all our volunteers on the parade who carried the banners and made sure we had all the water we needed. Not least, all the drummers and dancers for your hard work performing such a long parade route. Hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did!

Special thanks to the Derby West Indian Community Association (DWICA) and the carnival committee for their support throughout. Cheers!
