4. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Romig, Senior Advisor, New Orleans & Company:
"There are so many bands and so many marching groups that really put so much time into preparing for this season. We want to make sure that they have a good time and that they are safe and all of us are part of that to make sure that that happens. You know simple rules to follow; you don’t want to walk across the bands, that’s been said. You don’t want to walk in between the floats. That’s very important. Have a good time, that’s the most important thing but in the meantime, watch all the kids. Again, even if they’re not your children, they’re everyone’s children at Mardi Gras."
