@@EarthAngel504 Yeah you right they need some work. But they got a young group of men they need to build. I’m hoping for next year to see overall improvement. Right now Edna Karr is making establishing true pre Katrina attitude as far as band goes. You can see the pride those kids have. In your opinion what do you think Edna Karr might be doing different from other bands in the city?
@@DJ_DRUmmaBoy08 I think you're right, a lot of crabs there. I'm sure they'll be better by parade season.. As far as Karr. They were just in the right place at the right time. They capitalized on Katrina and i'm not mad at them for it. However. I do believe the structural change of the city and schools after Katrina, as well as the economy plays a major role in why East bank bands are struggling. I also believe this also plays a part in Why St Aug are the way they are. Honestly. Katrina screwed the city, but i think the politics and and bureaucrats are doing just as much damage.
@ And definitely no one wants to admit that either. If you look at the demographics on the Eastbank there are less kids and more Retirees, and gentrified Air Bnbs. The landscape and population is totally different. More Families live on the Westbank since Katrina. We have a growing Hispanic population also. And I won’t be surprised if the Black population becomes a minority in the next 20 years. I mean the bands don’t have the swag they did before the storm. The thing about New Orleans bands back then was that they did not copy HBCU’s exactly. We had our own style and swag with it. And every school tried to be different from the next. Why the hell 35 trying to be like JSU God help us. But all that goes to say New Orleans loss its personal creativity thanks to Katrina. People got exposed to Houston and Atl and picked up the culture there and bought it back to Nola, and we bought our culture every where else. We are less unique now, well in my opinion the new generation in the city is not. Like we will never have a rap group that sounds like true New Orleans. All the new rappers in the city rap like they from Atl or some out of town style. We lost our swag and we will never get that back.
Aug looking good and sounding good!
