Join our Community Committee 

 

A reimagining of Sailor Mas and an open invitation to build with us

 

ARE YOU SOMEONE WHO:
• Moves people
• Builds networks
• Has ideas, energy, and initiative
• Loves Carnival and culture

 

Before anything else, this is a development opportunity. For those interested in the business of Carnival, its preservation, and the intentional growth of community, joining us offers a chance to learn by doing. From concept to road, you’ll gain insight into how mas is designed, produced, marketed, and sustained — while contributing to a model that treats culture as both heritage and enterprise.

​

We see Joki One x East Yard as more than a Carnival band. It’s a growing platform for rethinking how Sailor Mas is created, experienced, and sustained.

As we prepare for Carnival 2027, we’re expanding our circle and inviting individuals to join us — not just to play mas, but to actively contribute to building something intentional.

 

This is an opportunity for those who want to:

• Learn the business of mas from concept to execution

• Support costume production and bring design ideas to life

• Engage in marketing and promotion to shape how the band is seen and experienced

• Invite new masqueraders and grow the community

• Help shape the vision as we continue to evolve our interpretation of Sailor Mas

• Or simply choose to be part of something meaningful

 

Our work sits at the intersection of tradition and innovation. We honour Sailor Mas, while pushing it forward through contemporary design, wearable costumes, and a model that considers sustainability and long-term cultural value.

​

What we’re building requires more than a team. It requires people who are curious, committed, and ready to contribute their energy, skills, and perspective.

If you’ve ever wanted to be part of mas beyond the road, this is your moment.

 

Join us as we shape what comes next.
