The band
Who is in the street
Four of us who grew up a few blocks apart in Gentilly. This is who plays what.
Leroy Arceneaux
sousaphone
I carry the bottom of the street.
Alvin Delacroix
trombone
I slide into every second line.
Genevieve Toussaint
trumpet
I take the first note and the last.
Dupree Fontenot
snare drum
I keep the time and the party.
Hello, we are Gentilly Hour
We grew up a few blocks apart in Gentilly and started playing on the porch before school. Now we lead second lines on Sundays and play festivals and weddings in between.
We are loud on purpose and we always keep the beat.
