A film project I helped (with a Kickstart donation,) is now going to be presented on national TV! Saturday night, Feb. 15th on CBS 48 Hours.
More here: The Whole Gritty City
"The Whole Gritty City is a documentary feature film that tells the story of three New Orleans marching bands as they push to prepare for Mardi Gras parades, and three band directors battling for their students' lives and souls. It shows lives stopped in their tracks by the violence of the streets, and the power of music to lift and sustain the survivors."
There will be Sousaphones in it!

Thanks for the heads up. We will plan to watch it. We lived there for 5 years and really liked it.
Went back two weeks ago.
