The Krewe d'Amusement was formed by a
group of eleven families in March of 2006. Its purpose is to
provide a unique Mardi Gras krewe experience for its member
children. Unlike many children's krewes in Acadiana who have one
set of monarchs, the Krewe d'Amusement has several. Every 7th
and 8th grade child has the privilege of portraying a king or
queen in this krewe. Every 5th and 6th grade child is a lord or
lady and is part of our Royal Court. Delighting the audience
with lively costumes and hit music is our Cast of Characters,
our Pre-K through 4th graders, who truly animate the year's
chosen theme.
As a member, each child has the privilege of
participating in all three of the krewe's main activities: the
Ball, the Parade and the Socials. The Ball is held in January.
The Parade is held the Saturday afternoon before Fat Tuesday.
The Socials are held at various times of the year, enabling the
children to get to know and interact with each other. Having new
friends, with many different talents, from many different
schools, is what Krewe d'Amusement is all about!
