UFH Carnival Band is made up of a unified group of people from diverse cultural background and is open to all! The band is broken up into different sections. The first section is composed of youth who are specifically trained as color guards to swing flags while leading the band in the parade. Other sections of the band feature cut up t-shirts, traditional wear and masqueraders' costumes. United for Haiti Carnival Band is a community based group which parades and celebrates as the "Pearl of the Caribbean." UFH themes focus on showcasing Haitian/Kreyol cultures, rich history, and its influence on other society around the world. Partying with us at the Atlanta Caribbean Carnival is truly fun, rewarding and fulfilling! Sak passé? Nap boule! (What's happening? We're burning!) UFH is always fired up for carnival!
2012 Theme: TBA
2011 Theme: "United for the Rebirth of Haiti." In 2011, UFH focused on rebuilding Haiti with the unifications of The diaspora (Haitians living abroad) and the Payzan (Haitians living in Haiti) for the beginning of a new and more promising Haiti after the 2010 earthquake after math. The color guards swing flags of all of the caribbean countries. The female diaspora wore gold and silver costumes with princess- eye feathered masks while the payzan wore blue and red costumes with head pieces such as flowers or head wraps. The men Payzan wore red shirts with blue and red spray painted straw hats. The male diaspora wore gold vests and shorts.
2010 Theme: "Through it all Haiti's still standing." United for Haiti paraded the carnival in 2010 with a slogan "Through it all, Haiti is Still Standing." The intention was to "Thank" all of the brave January 12, 2010 earthquake rescue teams, volunteers and givers for their generous acts. Our trained color guards swing all Haian flags as they lead the float. In the midst of preparing for the Atlanta carnival, the group helped raise money, donated funds, and conducted food/clothing drives for the earthquake victims. The other section of the band was led by another group who wore shirts stating "for the love of Haiti."
