From Daryl Williams:

"1. When the Saints go marching in
2. Tiger Rag
3. Bourbon St Parade
4. Carnival Time
5. Mardi Gras 2nd Line

We will play about 4 other brass band tunes every now and then. We will all have on New Orleans Saints gear in respect/honor of our Saints winning the Superbowl. We will be chanting WHO DAT during many of our tunes. The band will be made up of a Trombone, Trumpet, Sax, Tuba and two drummers. For the past 3 years, we have been using a small " set bass drum " in all of our parades. We now use a traditional marching band/2nd line bass drum w/cymbal attached. Since we will be performing for a Mardi Gras Ball at the horseshoe casino on Saturday night, the rest of my band members will already be in town, and ready to roll " on time " this Sunday. Thanks for everything. You have put us on the map in Shreveport. We owe the Blanc et Noir marching society a great show on Sunday!"

Blanc et Noir subscribes to the brass band philosophy: play your horns loud and funkily enough and the dancin' world will follow.

Thanks to skeletonkrewe's Chris for documenting the Crescent City during this important phase of its life.

On this wild man you'll notice a grass skirt of Spanish moss. In the Shreveport area I encourage B&N members to gather such material along the shore area of lake Bistineau.
