The History of Krewe de L'Ecore

Krewe de l'Ecore was founded by Marty & Vicki Broussard and a group of friends in 1998 to celebrate Mardi Gras and provide other social functions for Krewe members thoughout the year.  It was founded as a couples only Krewe with 80 original members.  "Grease" was the theme for the First Annual Krewe Mardi Gras Ball which was held at the Habibi Temple on Friday evening, February 5, 1999.  Immediately there was a waiting list for membership.  The Krewe has since expanded and currently consists of 91 couples.  From a borrowed parade float the first year, the Krewe purchased a used float and renovated it the second year.  Then in 2004 some of the Krewe's hard-working members built a new parade float which is still in use today.  Social events are held throughout the year followed by events during the Mardi Gras season including the Annual Krewe de l'Ecore Mardi Gras Ball, which is a themed event and is strictly formal.  The Ball kicks off with the presentation of Debutantes after which the Krewe members and their guests are treated to the pageantry and presentation of the costumed Royal Court.  After "unmasking" of the Court members, everyone joins in a Second Line dance.  Finally, a live Band performs until Midnight.  The Krewe's Mardi Gras season ends with participation in the Children's Parade, The Royal Gala and the Krewe of Krewe's Parade.  Then the fun starts all over for another year of fun, friendship and excitement.  The Krewe currently has a waiting list for membership, but applications for membership are always welcome, come join the fun!
