For J'ouvet and Carnival the steelbands go out "on de road" on large floats that are built specifically for steelbands. The people or supporters will "chip" along which means they're basiclly stepping to the beat of the tune the band is playing. Realize that the band starts playing the tune, sometimes it's the Panorama tune, or sometimes it's the "road tune," which is an quickly learned tune, just a verse and chorus usually, and they'll play that tune for 2 to 3 hours straight! Non stop!
Though a still picture doesn't capture the "chipping" of the supporters, here is one anyway. Also some of the band on the float.
