"We will have our own brass band and march and dance around it the entire length of the Krewe of Highland parade on Sun, Feb 18, 2007," said Robert Trudeau of the aim of the Blanc et Noir Marching Society. Founded on the model of the New Orleans marching groups, the jiving krewe aims to bring fresh meat to the Carnival scene.

"Please join us at Columbia Cafe Fri, Nov 3, about 5 pm," said Trudeau. "You don't have to immediately pay dues and join," he continued. Basic dues are $25. People who want to be patrons can become Louis Quatorze members at $100.

Info about our group and about Carnival is the main stuff of B & N meetings, said Trudeau, author of How To Mardi Gras.
