I thought I heard music

The marching band from a nearby high school was practicing for a Mardi Gras parade. Not a great shot, because I was barefoot, scrambled to find a camera and had to catch them from the front porch as they marched by.

But everyone is different: When they rebuilt the high school and added a football stadium, some of the neighbors grumbled on the Nextodor app about the noise and traffic. Most of us were excited that the students would have access to sports and marching band.

How fun! I love this.

How fun to be able to catch them as they pass your home! I think it is an excellent shot under the circumstances

Well done to get this, I would have been so excited to have a band marching past my house!
When I was a child the Boys Brigade band used to march in our road and I loved it.

[Leslie]

well that must have been special , watching them go by.

Awesome!!! We had lunch today in Kennesaw, GA at a New Orleans style restaurant and saw the sign that Mardi Gras was only 5 days away.

Tells the story well.

Love this! We are near the high school in our town and everyone gets excited when the band begins to practice in the fall. It's like a sign that the seasons are changing. Wouldn't have expected it in February, but of course we don't have Mardi Gras parades here!

Yay, have fun in the parade, band kids! (From a former band kid)

Fun shot. Lovely street capture.,

[John Falconer]

I guess the neighbours knew about the building plans etc? Great shot.

Always fun to watch and listen to a marching band

I'd much rather have marching band music coming from the street than some of the angry hip-hop R&B stuff I hear around here! Good catch!
