From the\u00a0Claude O. Markoe Elementary School the troops came into formation, accompanied by some of St. Croix’s major bands as they danced down the street with thousands of residents and visitors viewing from either side. The groups were diverse, too: steel pan orchestras, a Crucian-Puerto Rican Friendship group accompanied by a replica of baby Jesus in a manger, and another troop, consisting of mostly Caucasian-Crucians, performed magic as they played with fire and performed other tricks. There were also men dressed like Zulus, performing African dances.<\/p>\n
