Instead, New Orleans was eerily quiet.  
Unless you listened
extra carefully. Far from the normal parade route, we found a high school marching band breaking the silence. They call themselves the "Best Band in the Land." As we first told you earlier this year, we call them a story and a band you ought to hear.
The St. Augustine High School Marching Band needs no introduction in New Orleans. The drums and horns have echoed through this city since the band was founded in 1952.
