Krewe of Excalibur

Another Metry parade, please keep in mind that I have a young child so the Metairie parades work just fine for us and I don’t expect much. Why give this parade 2 stars then? Because there was not only one, but two dance groups in this parade with EXTREMELY vulgar dance moves. Seriously every person around us was in shock and turning their kids away it was that bad. I get the whole middle aged dance troops, I don’t «understand» the dynamic but I get that it’s a thing in Metry. However, when they are marching in a parade knowingly with younger children, their stripper skills should be put on the back burner. There was also a float with Star Wars people and a woman dressed as princess Leah when she was a slave to Jabba the Hut, a bit risqué for a Metry crowd.
The rest was very typical, horses, Grotto in their cars, a good amount of throwing at this parade.
Catch of the parade: A fleur de lis black and gold clapping thing, my daughter loves it.
History: Founded in 2000, Excalibur was named for the legendary sword of King Arthur. Because of its medieval theme, the krewe’s website says that ’ the organization lends itself to grand costuming and a unique look. If you are a Medieval buff you will enjoy our ball where King Arthur, with his sword Excalibur, reigns with his Queen Guenevire. Merlin and Lady of the Lake will appear.’
