The G.W. Carver High School marching band parades with the Krewe of Muses on February 12, 2010 in New Orleans.<br />
<br />
The Krewe of Muses is relatively new to Mardi Gras, first parading in 2001.  One of the few all-women krewes, and the only one to roll at night, Muses has quickly become one of the most celebrated parades of Mardi Gras.  This is due in no small part to the variety and uniqueness of its throws, none more so than its coveted decorated high heeled "Glitter Shoe".  Muses also keeps the satirical tradition of Mardi Gras alive with its floats- the 2010 theme was "The Muses Guide to Love and Romance".
