The cultural heritage of different Akwa Ibom tribes will be showcased
through the costume designs for Orange Carnival Bands; all bands are to wear costumes
that pass messages that will stick to the mind.
Team Degree 360 Magazine has decided to take up a band for
their participation in Orange Carnival. According to Uko Etuk-Publisher of
Degree 360 Magazine, ‘ we have decided not just to be a Media Partner like we
have remained over the years, we want to go a step further by identifying with
the Orange Carnival vision, and celebrating Akwa Ibom State Anniversary which
is where we do our business. Aside publishing, Degree 360 Magazine offers Media
Consultancy services, Image Branding, Event Management. The costumes to be worn
will also be related to a profession- e.g. – groups dressed in attires related
to professions like Doctors, Lawyers, and/or Engineers. Costumes can also
relate with recent news, e.g. - the bird flu
epidemic (dressed as chickens). The feeling of this Carnival is the sharp
criticism, the funny play on words and the imaginations in the costumes, more
than the glamorous dressings. Masks will be readily available by Garneti, and it is
traditional to paint faces.
