Archmere Stage Band Celebrates Tricentennial in New Orleans
To celebrate 300 years of rich history, diversity, cultural traditions and resilience, the city of New Orleans has been celebrating 2018 like no other. To accomplish this, New Orleans Mayor Mitchell Landrieu formed the 2018 NOLA Commission to allow input for events and programs that will honor the anniversary of the founding of New Orleans. A variety of special events, concerts, fireworks and completion of major infrastructure projects have been scheduled throughout 2018 to mark this special "Tricentennial", including a perfomance by the Archmere Stage Band.
The Archmere Stage Band and members of the Jazz Ensemble took part in the 300th Anniversary of the founding of the city of New Orleans last weekend. The Auk musicians performed on the River Boat Creole Queen on the Mississippi River. A highlight of the trip was a private concert by the Preservation Jazz Hall Band, where the students were able to interact and ask questions of the famous group.
In 2005, the city was hit by Hurricane Katrina and Federal levee failures devastated vast areas of the city with flooding. However, in the years that have passed since that event, the city has rebuilt and recovered, its culture and attractions more vibrant than ever. As the city commemorates the Tricentennial, it celebrates the resilience and resourcefulness of its people. The Archmere musicians had a wonderful time being a part of it.
