I was in New Orleans my senior year in high school. Our band marched the Endymion parade. What a workout!! Six hours of constant dancing. Everything about that trip was fabulous. Since it was a school trip, we saw everything and it was all gorgeous. I love the French Quarter and the Hurricanes!! To be a part of the Mardi Gras festivities will be an experience I will never forget!! I hope to be back one day and try the other side of the parade route!!
