Even though the band came second, we were able to iron out all of our teething problems and the band has grown by over 300%, and that&#8217;s without our section being launched. Our masquerade count (for Mirage) was 120 last year, and now it&#8217;s already up to 300.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked what she thinks are the pull factors for the band, Alcala said, &#8220;Well, it&#8217;s not just the pull for Mirage but the pull of L.A., because it&#8217;s one of the most luxurious cities in the world. It has all of the A-list stars and people want to come and be a part of that. There&#8217;s something about that atmosphere that really makes you feel that anything is possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-973 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ricqcolia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/20180228_222015_easy-resize-com-1.jpg\" alt=\"20180228_222015_Easy-Resize.com (1)\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ricqcolia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/20180228_222015_easy-resize-com-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ricqcolia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/20180228_222015_easy-resize-com-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ricqcolia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/20180228_222015_easy-resize-com-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ricqcolia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/20180228_222015_easy-resize-com-1-501x375.jpg 501w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s so important to note that for a cultural parade it shuts down all of L.A. and all of Hollywood Boulevard,&#8221; she added. &#8220;It&#8217;s not only about the mas, but it&#8217;s such a melting pot of different things, so it&#8217;s great to be a part of that and showcase what we&#8217;re great at which is soca and mas.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Registration opens on March 1.
