NEW ORLEANS -- As the Orpheus ball began to wind down, revelers geared up for the Fat Tuesday parades that began rolling shortly after daybreak.

Some revelers partied through the night in New Orleans.
Clarinetist Pete Fountain will be leading his marching band from the city's Garden District to the French Quarter.

Lent follows Fat Tuesday. It is the period of fasting and repentance before Easter Sunday.
