Notions of "noise nuisance" do not exist in Georgetown. Mash day began before dawn as the Sound Systems started mixing the music, continuing ceaselessly for the next 24 hours. Unless close to a specific stack of amplifiers (always as high as a house) it was impossible to distinguish any particular tune: the air was filled with the vibrations and competing songs; for the day the birds and dogs of Georgetown gave up their voices.
The Mash parade started at 10 am and wove intermittently through the packed streets, the participants forging through the mingling on-lookers, stall holders and street hawkers, all in a mood of holiday celebration and display.

One chirpy leader- anyone watching was able to walk into the road and get a picture.
Body glitter is the sort after accessory.
