These people want to be 1800s European monarchs so bad with the old military marches

My gf asked if only white people were allowed, and I said “no sweetie look there a black guy in the band”

Sounds like a keeper if she's actually humoring you with this.
I have to imagine most non Lousianans would be checking out of this after about ninety seconds.

This website + being with someone from the city are the only reason someone like me knows this exists.

Why is the band reading the music? They don't have it memorized?

Well, to be fair, they usually invite the Zulu king so that automatically takes care of one black man. Maybe the other is his friend.

The real challenge is spotting any black people at Comus, not Rex.

He’s used to it by now but has no concept as to why I would watch if I didn’t really know anyone in if nor could we join

Rex took on a couple to keep the public face. Comus stopped parading.

Who the heck was their florist? Those urn arrangements could use some filler flowers.
