One of the many special components of the Mardi Gras parades are the marching bands. They consist primarily of local area high schools and the most famous is from the St. Augustine High School in New Orleans. They are known as "The Marching 100" to their fans and are considered one of the best high school marching bands in the United States.
They have played in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Super Bowl, also during a celebration for Pope John Paul II.
