During my time in NOLA, I didn't actually get to see much of Endymion. However, one of the few times I did was when it rolled along its traditional Mid-City route in 2008. These crowds were swarming around the Grand Marshall's float, mainly because Kevin Costner was heading the parade!
The burgundy gloves are a niche touch on the outfits for these high school lids, dancing during one the Saturday parades, St Charles Avenue, 2008
A dancing troop, whose name I never established, run through their routines on Jefferson Avenue during preparations for the rolling of De'Tat in 2011. I loved being able to walk around an photograph the participants as they milled around or practiced pre-parade. Wish I'd gotten more opportunities like this in my 5 years in New Orleans.
