Petoskey High School Steel Drum Band to perform to for Mardi Gras in New Orleans

The Petoskey High School Steel Drum Band is about to participate in one of the largest parties in the United States.

On Friday, 21 students and 12 chaperones will begin their journey to New Orleans for Mardi Gras.

While there, the group will perform in three parades, including: the Endymion, which begins at 4:15 p.m. on Saturday; the Bacchus, which begins at 5:15 p.m. on Sunday; and the Orpheus, which starts at 6 p.m. on Monday.

For more than four hours at a time, on their newly renovated, double-decker trailer, the students will be performing "Jump in the Line," "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" and "Brown Eyed Girl," among other hits.
