The 9th of September 2012 and Moving Tides was amazing - the turn out from the schools was wonderful, the atmosphere was charged with excitement and the crowd was loving every minute of it!
As a motivator and the only AUCB student to work with a school who could make it on the day I was given a costume from one of last years AUCB productions and permitted to walk in the carnival with my school Wyke Regis. The children were brilliant - excited and enthusiastic. Getting to see them all in costume for the first time was amazing, seeing them all together and doing the dance they had been taught in the procession as we travelled around Weymouth.
Just seeing all the schools and costumes together really brought home to all of us I think just how much work by so many people had gone into it, and how it had all managed to come together.
To my absolute joy, the BBC filmed the carnival and actually spoke to the kids I was working with during the parade - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-19518472
Also take a look at the photo's on the Weymouth Echo online articles for it, see who you recognise - http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/localnews/9919920.Party_atmosphere_at_Weymouth_s_Jurassic_Mardi_Gras/
