Marching Bands – McDonogh 35 and Walker High Schools
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-N-ss1OalY
The big parades in New Orleans end in the Convention Center. Bands, floats, everything enter the convention center. Seeing these bands (along with St. Aug's Marching 100) are the reason I think all parades outside of New Orleans are lame. You will never find "attitude" in a band like you do in New Orleans. Happy Mardi Gras! Laissez Bon Temps Rouler!
