Official Southern Decadence
Theme, Colors and Song

  

 

 

Beginning in 1987, Southern Decadence Grand Marshal XV began what was to eventually become a tradition of selecting an official theme.  This was initially a very short-lived "tradition" because no theme was selected by the following two years' Grand Marshals.  But in 1990 the tradition resumed, with an official color also being chosen.  And in the year 2000 an official song was added to the Grand Marshal's annual proclamations.
