Pensacola's Krewe of Warriors

2009 King & Queen

The Krewe has a very unique style for the U.S. They pattern themselves in the Venetian themes, which require more makeup and masking than conventional krewes. This style takes total dedication to the celebration in a way few clubs are prepared to embrace. Their pride is on display each and every time they parade in the streets of Pensacola. Mardi Gras Digest has been invited, so we hope to have a reporter there.

On our fact finding visit about the krewe we discovered a type of personal dedication that too few clubs bring to the industry, specifically on the part of the current captain and board members as they plan for the upcoming ball and the new King and Queen for 2010! [   ...]

Carlos San Nicolas, Mardi Gras Costume Designer had already designed Aquila's Ball and Parade for the 2010 season, before learning that the krewe would not be active, again this season. The sad news was hardly what "San" had anticipated since he knew the captain is a strong leader and was more than able to bring the krewe back from the brink. He didn't want to waste the designs however, and decided to share them with us. So we are very privileged to be able to present to you, with the top designer's assistance, Aquila's Final Ball and theme .....  "2010: That's Entertainment!" [ ...] Pictured Right:  San Nicolas stands between two of his costume creations.
