The Democrats are providing the beads. Some of them are sweating bullets right now.

I went to Athens, Georgia to watch the total eclipse a couple of years ago (100% worth it btw, I now understand why people travel all over the world to witness those things) and we were in a beautiful park. There was easily >20k people there. There was only a small area where someone was playing some music over a small PA system, and a few vendors selling tee shirts and popcorn and the like. It was nice ... but everyone in our group said “these people don’t know how to party/tailgate.” If that had been in South Louisiana then there would’ve been a few Cochon de Laits, BBQs out the wazoo, and enough alcohol to drown a Scotsman.

So, no, people outside of Cajun country don’t really know how to properly parade or party.

I always get confused what people do during parades in other states.

Places where open containers aren't allowed and they don't throw anything.

Sure Mardi gras throws are worthless and usually you just toss em on the ground, but in your drunken stupor at least you have a goal.

I couldn't imagine being sober and simply watching a parade go by.

I will give you that sir. Having traveled to Red Stick to watch Bama take on the Tigers I was always on the edge of anticipation. It was just in the air, the festive nature, the yearned for victory and the excitement. All three times it was in vain. Once when Bryant was at the helm and twice under Stallings. But there is a genuine party atmosphere not to be found any place else.

Terrebonne High was also marching. They and Salmen High were marching, but that parade was earlier.

That’s great we were represented well. I missed those, but then the 2-3 you tubes i watched had no one announcing the participants as in the rose parade, etc. Hard to tell who some were at a glance.

This is YouTube link of the parade from the Association putting on that parade. That included 2 bands from Louisiana in DC today.

Watching a parade on TV, while sober no less, is probably the gayest thing I’ve ever heard of.

tarps99, thanks for that link. Wish i had seen it earlier, but i went with one someone linked on here and then went to one that popped up on side of the screen. Neither had announcers. Yours would have been much better. The ones i saw were just too quiet without announcers, annoying as they can be at times.
