AFTER almost four hours of parading before the judges at the National Stadium, the last costumed band, Mass Mania, brought down the curtain on this section of Grand Kadooment about 12:30 p.m.
Some 21 bands appeared before the judges at the Stadium and about midday, a brief shower of rain caused the small number of patrons to reach for their umbrellas.
That soon passed, and from there the action turned to the road where thousands of revellers headed for Spring Garden. (JS)
