Be­low is the full state­ment from Valmi­ki Ma­haraj, Lost Tribe's Band Leader.

"I am so thank­ful in this mo­ment that is un­ex­pect­ed. My fo­cus this year, hon­est­ly, which was not on com­pe­ti­tion, it wasn't on go­ing to win any­thing be­cause I felt like for each of us who made it to the road af­ter sur­viv­ing the pan­dem­ic and the past cou­ple of months on the lead up to car­ni­val 23 That was a win in it­self. Every day I met oth­er pro­duc­ers or oth­er band lead­ers on the road or oth­er ven­dors in the car­ni­val, I said, you know, as we stand up here on this road and have made it to the road, that is a win lit­er­al­ly ver­ba­tim. For this to come right now. I just have to be more than thank­ful for it. I'm thank­ful to every every sin­gle per­son who played a part in get­ting us here. And I would like to ded­i­cate this to all those un­sung he­roes you don't hear about; every per­son who sticks a gem and bends a wire to get those cos­tumes that you wrote every route man­ag­er who led us safe­ly and steered our ships. Thank you to them.
