St. Augustine High Marching 100

http://stream.publicbroadcasting.net/production/mp3/wwno/local-wwno-821565.mp3

When the 2009 Muses parade rolled down St. Charles Avenue, they were accompanied by one of the city's most famous bands: St. Augustine High School's Marching 100. This Mardi Gras Season, St. Augustine's was in a total of nine parades, but none were as momentous as the parade they marched in 42 years ago, when St. Augustine was the first non-white band to roll down Canal Street. Eve Abrams brings us this story.

Eve Abrams first fell in love with stories listening to her grandmother tell them; it’s been an addiction ever since.
