Across the Bridge into the Uptown

The Men of Class second-line proceeds across the bridge into Uptown New Orleans, where a second-liner climbs up on the scaffolding of a pumping-station that’s being remodeled. I have noticed that part of the phenomena at second-lines is dancers climbing up on ledges, roofs or other high places so as to be noticed by the crowd, or perhaps to be able to see the whole parade stretched out beneath them, or maybe both. 10/21/12
