Video and photo from the New Orleans-style second-line parade
On October 18 2004, at 10 am Wynton led a swinging group of musicians down the Broadway, on their way to the new Home of Jazz at Lincoln Center.
Those in the New Orleans-style parade, as well as citizens of Manhattan and tourists belted out “When the Saints Go Marching In.” Office workers clapped from open windows.
Some even started to jitterbug on the street as the musicians paraded from Lincoln Center’s Josie Robertson Plaza to the new Jazz at Lincoln Center marquee located on Broadway at 60th Street.

Question: I once lived, worked, and attended school in Louisiana (Xavier and Southern University A&M College (1990-2000)), but I am originally from Memphis, TN. I had a grand time while I lived there and immensely enjoyed its historical culture. Out of curiosity, is it at all possible that a 2nd line parade can perform at a wedding reception in TN? If so, what is the estimated cost?
Just so you know, I’m not yet getting married, but it has been a recent topic of discussion. So my question is currently hypothetical.
If this question should not be directed to you, could you please direct it to whom it may concern?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
