Horns o' Plenty

Sousaphones lie at rest outside of a bar in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans prior to the Society of St. Anne walking parade on Mardi Gras day, 2011. "Ste. Anne, like so many of the precious ephemera of Mardi Gras, defies attempts to define it. As a walking club, the only requirement for membership is that you know about it. Without any stated doctrine or structure, the Ste. Anne parade, in its spontaneity and disorganization, resembles the old Creole cavalcades that sprawled through New Orleans' streets in the 1830s" according to local Carnival historian (and Society co-founder) Henry Schindler.
