Gombays marching toward St. George's town square. There are whistles blowing, drums beating, people cheering - and your heart is pounding. The costumes represent the African influence in Bermuda culture.
Both young and old perform the dances - non-stop.
It was announced that one of the dancers has been a part of the troop for more than 40 years. I didn't know at the time I took this picture that this was that person. As the troop was leaving this man leaned in toward Chuck's video camera, lifted his face mask and told us he was the one. Amazin.
