We've been on our new campus for about six months now and we're loving it! We recently asked a few of our students what they're enjoying most about being on Piety Drive. Here is what they had to say!
Thank you to Madison and our wonderful partners at NOLA Lending Group and Fidelity Bank for feeding the Crusaders last Thursday before we marched in Chaos. We're grateful to them and everyone who provides meals, time, and volunteer support for these remarkable young musicians!
Every great band starts with a strong beat, and ours starts with Mr. Ruffin. 🥁 For over 20 years, he’s mentored young musicians across New Orleans and pushes our students to rise higher and lead with pride. Happy Birthday to a true percussion powerhouse! 🎉🥳🎂
Happy Mardi Gras, y’all! 🎭🎺 Thanks for cheering on The Marching Crusaders all season. After 23 miles, 6 parades, and 10 days, we’re resting! Roots will be closed the rest of the week. See you in March! 💜💚💛
💜💚💛 It is your last chance to see and hear The Marching Crusaders this carnival season! We're marching in the Krewe of Proteus on the Uptown route tonight. The parade rolls at 5:15. We've loved seeing so many of you all season long! #TheRootsofMusic #KreweofProteus
🏃🏾 Mardi Gras is a marathon, not a sprint, right? We've marched 15 miles in four parades over the last week and we've got two more to go. Tonight, you'll find the Marching Crusaders following float 10 in the Krewe of Bacchus. Come out and find us on the uptown parade route! 🎺
Love is in the air, and so is the music! 🎺💘 This Valentine’s Day, our donors are our Valentines. Thanks for loving The Roots of Music today and everyday. 🖤💛
