Current Aquila
Royalty
Since arriving on the Mardi Gras scene in 1976 this
couples and singles club has established itself as an organization that
stages one of the most elaborately costumed Carnival balls and street
parades of each season. While maintaining many of the 19th
century traditions of Mardi Gras – keeping their signature approach to their
theme secret until the night of the annual ball – they have continuously
“pushed the envelope” with their very elaborate and detailed Court
costumes. They remain a unique entity within the broad variations of Mardi
Gras organizations by producing these phenomenal costumes using all donated
labor of Krewe members known within the organization as “THE BACK ROOM
GANG”.
The people who
wear these costumes are special as well. Each season two members are set
above all for their civil awearness, their business interests and their
devotion to our community and Krewe. Our King & Queen are given very special attention.
Part of that attention is the announcement of the accencion to the thrown,
the corination, and the ball presentation to the general public.
We will announce to the community over the website the
names of our royalty and introduce you to our King and Queen
who will lead the ball and our parade through the streets of
Metairie, in Jefferson Parish.
Their
Krewe costumes – some of the most complete and detailed in all of Mardi
Gras.
