The Krewe of Atlas Grand Bal V [PICS]
Ok, so maybe I'm biased, but the Krewe of Atlas Grand Bal V this past Friday at DiamondJacks was pretty frickin' fabulous! It's a milestone year for the krewe and they didn't disappoint!

The Krewe of Centaur showcased amazing floats, great costumes and no small amount of Mardi Gras beads at their annual Mardi Gras parade in Shreveport this past Saturday (February 2). We were lucky enough to have the chance to ride in our own Townsquare Media Shreveport float during the event, taking in the sights and sounds of the estimated 200,000 people who showed up to party.
Check out all the great photos we took during the parade and let us know if you see yourself in any of them!
Masked revelers on floats, marchers, and horseback riders respond to the age old cry "Throw me something, Mister!" by tossing beads, toys, and trinkets. Doubloons are coins of no monetary value, minted for the Krewe and collected by many.
The Krewe of Centaur Parade was spectacular. I was thrilled to be a member of the "Victory or Valhalla" Float. Some of my dear friends invited me to join with them this year for this spectacular day. Our float was sponsored by Alb
KVKI's Erin McCarty had ridden in a number of Mardi Gras parades before, but nothing quite like her ride in this year's Krewe of Centaur parade Saturday.
Everything about a Mardi Gras parade is fun, but one of the best things is the awesome costumes that are worn. Check out these 8 awesome Mardi Gras costumes!
Throw me something mister!
Shreveport has sent out a list of guidelines for the big parades this year. The Clyde Fant Parkway will close at about 7 tonight until 7 in the morning.
You are not allowed to stake off or reserve any public areas along the parade route until after 7am on Saturday
As Erin's big Mardi Gras parade weekend approaches and her inner tug-o-war between fun and common sense sways toward the sensible (at least for the time being), she came across this list of 'Things You Shouldn't Do After Age 40'...and realized she may attempt at least four or five of them in a single afternoon. That would, by the way, be at Saturday's 'festivities on a float'.
The Krewe of Centaur Bal was absolutely fantastic this year! K945 and Townsquare Media are proud to be a corporate sponsor. If you were there (like half of the SBC) check out the video and see if you see yourself. If you weren't at the bal (WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!??!) why don't you check out what you missed? All Hail Centaur!
The Krewe of Centaur members gathered to get some final instructions for parade day and have a little fun during parade week. All of the members we talked with are thrilled that the forecast looks great for the big day. The parade is set to roll at 4
