As Barbadians what ever happens we always come out on top, especially with spirit. Therefore because we are a small island, this does not mean that we can not have big aspirations and accomplish large tasks. We can challenge the world with equal success. “We Goin’ Big!” is everything the Youth Explosion Band signifies, just because we are a group of young people does not mean that we can not go in the round with the big boys and come out being the CHAMPIONS!!!!
This band will compose of four sections:
• “When the Light Goes Out”
• “365 Not Out”
• “SOS” (Save Our Souls)
• “We Digg U”
When the Light Goes Out
When the sun sets leaving the world in Darkness, the moon rises as our alternative source of light. This can be depicted as a sign of hope as we are never really left in the dark because somehow there is light. Therefore the youth of Barbados need to unique and learn to shine through darkness, as those who are able to achieve this will become the future leaders…and CONQUER THE WORLD!!!
365 Not Out (SOLD OUT!!!)
Just as Sir Garfield Sobers was able to achieve 365 runs, we should live our lives to the fullest embracing all 365 days in the year, not letting anything get in our way to defeat us. Life is like cricket, we should try to stay in the game, keep up the fight, achieve as many goals as possible, having perseverance and to never take a day for granted.
“SOS” (Save Our Souls)
Hear the young people’s silent cry of SOS, as it is not too late to save their souls. Hence the reason why we as a society need to come together to motivate the youth and future of our nation, helping them to overcome the hurdles they face in today’s world, such as drugs, aids, peer pressure and crime. They must be led and guided down the right path to see their full potential, allowing them to reach for the stars, like our own island superstar Rihanna.
We Digg U
“We Digg U Bim” captures the essence of Barbadian culture, personality and how we as Barbadians move forward together within a society. This section represents the love, respect and patriotism that we have for this beautiful island. Its features and characteristics have memorized locals and tourists from near and far, with the beautiful beaches, wondrous places of interest and the unity shared between each other. For that reason Barbados is the place where we as the youth can develop entrepreneurship skills, talent, innovations and creativity. We not only dig Barbados but we also love it with all of our hearts, minds and soul, Barbados is just beyond our imagination!
