So the word on the curb is that the BGMM will be marching down in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Does anyone know which parade(s) they will be in?

So the word on the curb is that the BGMM will be marching down in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Does anyone know which parade(s) they will be in? I'll check and let you know. This is a great treat for our kids since they were not selected for this year's Honda BOB.

From what I heard through IG (Instagram) the BGMM will be marching in the Rex Parade, one of the old line Krews...This is good and I hope that it leads to more Parade Invites in the future

Why were they not invited to the Battle of the Bands?

Why were they not invited to the Battle of the Bands? Over the past few years Honda has changed how they select bands. For several years you could vote for your favorite band and they posted the scores. Then they selected the top vote getters. Then they put bands in groups by number of band members. The last three years they let you vote but didn't post the scores. About that time it became obvious to us bandheads that the voting was a scam and Honda was selection the bands they wanted. Honestly, Honda puts a major strain on the band members and staff. The have to return to campus over the Christmas break to learn a new show. Kids miss time at home with their family.
