You may ask yourself

Why we live here in New Orleans, but I would guess if you ask that question, or if you asked during the Federal Flood aftermath why New Orleans matters, then you have never had a smile from ear to ear on Fat Tuesday, you’ve never been up close and personal by a marching band in this city, and you have never known the unadulterated joy of music and food that pours out of this place. This is a film about the marching bands in our city. I stood on the corner of St. Charles and watched five kids walk up to the street waiting for the marching bands, they ranged in age from 6 to 11 and when the bands came down, it was just Tin going nuts, it was every child who watched the precision, the soul, the music pouring into the street and forcing us to be here right now.

Yeah, you may ask yourself why I think my future is here. NOPD be damned (and not all NOPD is bad, I can assure you) the kids are our future here and all eyes on the marching band. Watch this.
