May 3, 2004 – Jam Band took all three places in the Road March competition, but you'll find different winners in all other categories. Egypt, majorettes, quelbe, "passion for purple," and masqueraders were among themes that found favor with the judges of this year's V.I. Carnival Adults' and Children's Parades.
