New Orleans - Second Lining with The C.T.C. Steppers

from Wikipedia, "Second line is a tradition in brass band parades in New Orleans. The "main line" is the main section of the parade, or the members of the actual club with the parading permit; those who follow the band just to enjoy the music are called the 'second line.' The second line's style of traditional dance, in which participants walk and sometimes twirl a parasol or handkerchief in the air, is called 'second lining.' It has been called "the quintessential New Orleans art form — a jazz funeral without a body."
