Blanc et Noir is the new kid in town. Therefore, people will enjoy tapping into our energy. As well they should.
While I was asked not to say a thing about the March event or the Crescent City performers slated to headline the show, I am happy to report the un-named event organizer has asked Blanc et Noir to consider second lining at this not-yet-to-be-revealed large scale performance.
Delighted.

Blanc et Noir needs a banner in order to inspire the troupe and brand the organization
Here's a banner from The City. I like this group's gallows humor: Order of the Obituary Cocktail. The blanc et noir needs a banner, too.
Come to the meeting Fri, Nov 3, 5 - 6 pm, Columbia Cafe, with suggestions. Please.
Merci,

Gang meeting #1 at Columbia Cafe, 5 to 6 pm, Fri, Nov 3
The pleasure of your company is requested at Columbia Cafe, Creswell at King's Hwy, Shreveport, for the first true convocation of the blanc et noir marching society. That will be Fri, Nov 3, between 5 and 6 pm.
Repondez, s'il vous plait: trudeau@earthlink.net. Or 318-861-6809.
Above: some inspiration from the far side of the flung coin: the Society of St Anne, a troupe of Crescent City careeners.
Not that I expect blanc et noir to start off at that level of technicolor, but, we can dream, can't we?

Blanc et Noir Marching Society joins Krewe of Highland parade Sun, Feb 18, 2007
The Blanc et Noir Marching Society is Shreveport's newest addition to Carnival as observed in Protestant North Louisiana. Designed and built for those who love brass band jazz and the traditions of Catholic, Creole New Orleans, the society will march the Krewe of Highland route on Sun, Feb 18, 07.
Dancing - second lining - will commence when the krewe hears the bass drum and snare drum of the 5-piece brass band. Members will probably toss some sort of charm to the crowd - we call them "throws" - but will not be required to do so. Costumes will be wild, we assume, and perhaps wooly. We leave that to the inspiration derived by the members at krewe suppers and from their globe girdling research.
At the moment we are busy making plans for the Dutch treat suppers and such.
Dues for charter marchers will be $25. The principal expense, by the way, is the band's fee.
Those with deep pockets may decide to take a charter membership level called the Louis Quatorze. That will cost $100.
Marching society members will get a copy of How To Mardi Gras, a proclamation that declares their official and blessed anointing by Le Grand Fromage and their photo and bio on this site. We are looking into having a laminated All Access hang card for members, too.
Make checks payable to Robert Trudeau, for he's one of the true arbiters of Carnival canards and the founder of the Blanc et Noir.
