The party starts before dawn as the North Side Skull & Bone Gang, dressed as skeletons wake up the city's Treme neighborhood, reminding everyone of their mortality.
Skull and Bones Gang wakes up New Orleans that it’s Mardi Gras! They are the reminders of ‘Live life today, let go of your anger, confusion, sadness today …..’. ‘ You better get your life together and live life before you die’
