The 2023 B3 Second Line

Thanks goes to the Normandy School Collaborative for their performance in the Second Line procession of the 2023 Soulard B3 Festival!

“It is our pleasure to share in the celebration of the Soulard B3 Festival in an effort to share culture in our St. Louis community.

The Normandy Vikings, under the direction of Mr. Terry Artis and Assistant Director Mr. Adam Yanick, are all looking forward to this great opportunity for our students. As we regroup and rebuild after the pandemic, this festival of events has the makings of fun filled days of unity and good old fun in Soulard.

The Normandy Schools Collaborative has been known for excellence in fine arts and our marching band in particular. We will play and dance in the traditional second line playing music that will get the handkerchiefs waving!“

Suzanne Palmer - Fine Arts Director of the Normandy Schools Collaborative

Our 2022 festival reviews!
"It was a fine day in the Soulard neighborhood, an afternoon of excellent music and social living in the city. The term 'Culture = Community' was on display that afternoon, and this inaugural event bodes well for the future of a new St. Louis event."

"We had a great day there. Roland Johnson, HY-C and the band Fresh Start, very good. Then the Jeremiah Johnson band with Frank Bauer destroyed the place. As usual. Just a fantastic time, can't wait until next year."

Had a Total Blast. Thanks to all involved! This one day festival was totally worth the early morn crack of dawn drive up from the IBC in Memphis. I went from an international stage to a world class pro stage all in one day!"

I was pleased with the casual, family atmosphere of the event but also that it also appealed to singles, couples, and seniors across the board. It was a crowd happy to be around others, happy to be listening to the Blues, music which is so significant in the culture of this community. A new, special event which is relevant to the community in which it is held.

"The inaugural Soulard B3 Festival was truly a day of blues, bites and brews and offered something for everyone! Art vendors, music educational harmonica workshop complete with free harmonica, and so much more. The fans and families showed up in spades and happy faces and feet were everywhere. I look forward to supporting this great new blues festival and the SHARE non profit organization in their continuing mission. Bravo!

"My name is Chris Shepherd, and I was one of the musicians that played at the festival this year. This was such a fantastic way to invite folks to come out and enjoy live music, and to meet and hang out with family and friends. The joyful looks on peoples faces was truly inspiring. It was yet another reminder of why I love performing so much.
