Alliance Française de Charlotte

This is my high school friend at Alliance Française in Charlotte, North Carolina last summer. She is dancing here with the leader of the marching band, Les Gueules Seches, "'a 50-member group from Limoges (France) that dates back to the WWI era. They perform mostly in their region, but occasionally play in neighboring countries in Europe. Their only U.S. appearance ever was here in Charlotte on Bastille Day, for a combined celebration of the band’s 100th anniversary, Bastille Day and the 30th anniversary of the Charlotte-Limoges Sister City partnership. Quite a big event! We had fun hosting five members in our home during their time in Charlotte."
