13. It's in Biloxi...

...and that community is facing unbearable news (in regards to loss-of-life). The band, IMO, is in bad taste, but I cannot second-guess anyone in the midst of this tragedy.:cry:

16. Marching up and down 90 in Biloxi...

...some "band" members brandishing chain saws on their shoulders as if they were rifles.

Lead by two drummers.

18. It's for morale, I guess.

Was it an army marching band, or a school?

21. makes perfect sense

ever hear of a New Orleans "jazz funeral?" Or an Irish wake? It's all about celebrating life in the midst of death.

I've been listening to New Orleans music all day with that in mind.
