Workshops evaluation

The next step is the procession which I am very excited about and really looking forward to. The test of how successful my costumes are will be seen on the day of the carnival. I am really hoping they will stand out as a group and be effective in repetitive patterns and movement. Hopefully they will withstand the weather on the day as it's anyone's guess on what it will be like- my fingers are crossed for a warm, calm day. This could also affect the children's comfort levels. I have them in short sleeve t-shirts and shorts, If it is a cold day, some changes such as a black or which t-shirt underneath the orange t-shirt will have to be worn and black of which tights or leggings will have to be worn under the shorts with the morris bells elastic over the top. My main concern is that the headdress elastic will come loose if the weather is partially windy, or if the children have been playing with them, or they haven't been stored in a safe place- to be on the safe side I will be taking a stapler and fibreglass tape with me just in case there are any last minute repair jobs.
