New Orleans is a city steeped in musical heritage, and
marching bands have always been a highlight of the Bacchus parade.
Each year, we feature over thirty of the
finest and most powerful marching bands seen anywhere in Mardi Gras .
Our bands are big, loud, and full of
pure heart-pounding, foot-stomping, hand-clapping energy.
"Our goal is to treat the Bacchus spectator to a complete
entertainment experience from start to finish", explains Bacchus' Marching
Band Committee, "and music is a big part of the package. We want to
give our guests an unbeatable musical festival and a spectacular
parade all wrapped into one. We recruit
our own talent, so that we can hand pick the best bands for our parade."
Over the past three decades of Bacchus parades, we have featured hundreds of
marching bands
including The Louisiana State University Tigers, The Southern University
Jaguars, Saint Augustine's Marching 100, Alcee Fortier, Warren Easton,
McDonogh 35, and Sarah T. Reed High Schools, just to name a few.
