Newyorker.com: Rebirth Brass Band Second Line, by Dan Baum

The cold and damp weather that had been bedeviling New Orleans for weeks has finally broken, and on Saturday the Treme Sidewalk Steppers, one of the city's many Social Aid & Pleasure Clubs, held a second-line that began at the African American Museum of Art and History in Treme. A huge crowd filled Governor Nicholls Street as, precisely at noon, the Rebirth Brass Band began blowing. The Sidewalk Steppers—in matching gold linen shirts and pants, black-and-gold sashes, black alligator shoes, and black homburgs—came dancing down the museum's steps and out into the street.
