Sugar Bowl

It was a beautiful. sunny day for a parade in the French Quarter today and the reason for it was to celebrate the Sugar Bowl start-up.  There were horses and carriages, bead-throwing, umbrellas and the best marching band in the country...the St. Aug Marching 100.  It is so refreshing to see so many teen-agers so dedicated to music and their school.  They are well disciplined and talented.  Of course, this is really just practice for
them because we are all gearing up for Mardi Gras here in New Orleans and St. Aug will be marching many miles in the weeks to come.

  1. St. Aug has always been one of my very favorite things about Mardi Gras. They have an infectious energy and spirit that is stronger than any other marching band anywhere, at least that I've ever seen. I always wait excitedly for them to make their appearance whenever I go to a parade. Thanks for sharing. Love the photo. -Va
