The organizer of the parade said that they have invited the Divine Land Marching Band to the parade every year, since they learned about the band. “It is worth it.

The director of the parade said that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the Caribbean Carnival, and eleven groups participated. “We invite the Divine Land Marching Band every year. The band has good discipline. They were the first one who got here this morning.”

Clement also praised the band for their performances. “From the audience's feedback you can tell how popular they are. This is also the reason why we invited them several years in a row. This band has contributed a lot to the multicultural Canada,” he said.

Many spectators expressed how they like the Divine Land Marching Band. David Ang immigrated from Indonesia eight years ago. His grandfather is Chinese, so he likes traditional Chinese culture. He said: “I like this special band the most. I am always touched when I see them these years. Their performances are touching and make people comfortable. I have a special feeling for them, which cannot be described by language. I just like them,” Ang said.
