SASHES: Are worn at the Mardi
Gras Ball. Sashes add a sense of uniformity to the black tie attire. Purple
sashes are Founding Fathers. Gold sashes are court members. Green sashes are
charter members (1st year). Red sashes are current or past Admirals. Blue sashes are all other members. Sashes are worn
on the right shoulder across the body to the left hip and under your coat.
FOUNDING FATHERS: The ten guys
who made this Krewe possible. They served as the original board of directors
and managed the Krewe its first two years.
COURT: Completely symbolic
positions recognizing time and effort members have put into the Krewe over the
years. Court members should have active roles in the Krewe and demonstrate
tendencies toward fun and frivolity that the Krewe represents. Court members
nominate the next person to take his place on the court the next year and the
board makes the final decision on the nomination.
ADMIRAL ANDRES DE PEZ: Completely
symbolic office that is unveiled at the Mardi Gras Ball. The admiral should
represent the ideals of this Krewe and the office is a reward for efforts put
forth on behalf of the Krewe. The board nominates and elects the Admiral by
secret ballot. Highly recommended that he attend all events and parades.
SIGUENZA: Comes from the
sophomore class of members. Is responsible for organizing and insuring that the
Swabbies prepare the float for parades and clean and store the float properly
after parades. The board nominates and elects the Siguenza based upon a
person's dedication and leadership skills. The Siguenza is invited to attend
all board meetings and has a voice, but not a vote, at all meetings.
EMBLEMS OF OFFICE: The tokens,
trinkets, or gifts handed down by court members from year to year.
