UPBEAT AROUND UPTOWN. The Tulane Marching Band hit its stride during Mardi Gras festivities, marching in three parades in the busy final days of parading. Here, the band adds some olive-green-and-blue spirit to the Krewe of Thoth's 60th annual parade on Sunday (Feb. 18). The band also marched in the parades sponsored by Le Krewe D'Etat and Rex.
