High on Hope are one of the favourite Sound Systems that attract young people at Carnival. This is due to their skill in teaching young people to work as a team, learning the basics of mixing, scratching, equipment use and application. Offering a social and educational impact, young people get the chance to use their creativity on stage as well as in the studio, where participants are offered the opportunity to develop their aims and aspirations in relation to music production. The mechanics of running the ‘HIGH on HOPE’ Record Label gives inspiration and motivation to young people to explore their natural talents whilst embracing their cultural identity through the language of music and media. High on Hope achieves this through support and encouragement into training and education to acquire the life skills needed to assist young people’s growth to full maturity as individuals and as members of society. The High on Hope Sound has been associated with Carnival since 1992 and at its current location since 1994.
