Membership Confirmation, Throw sales launched

Our new Joan of Arc paper doll, in her Domrémy farm girl outfit!

Thanks for your membership!

With the next membership price increase approaching on December 1st, I just wanted to confirm that according to our records YOU have already purchased your 2025 membership. You are fully parade eligible, and you have full member purchasing privileges, including buying throws, keepsakes and event tickets.

Throw sales are now open on the website!

We have some beautiful new creative work from several krewe artists. Order now to pick up at the Dec. 9th Coronation Party, or choose one of the other pick-up dates. This year we’re focusing on the story of Joan calling for the ancient sword buried at the church of Sainte-Catherine-de-Fierbois, featuring the sword on our doubloon and coaster, a new playing card, sword pendant, and in the hands of our delightful new paper doll kit by artist Kathleen McCord.  Note that many items typically DO sell out, so don’t wait too long to place your order.

Important Changes to our Usual Schedule

  • Because our January 6 parade falls on a Monday this year, the pre-parade party, aka the amazing candlelight medieval banquet, will be on SATURDAY, JANUARY 4 (not the night before the parade as usual). Our cathedral mass and second line will be on Sunday, January 5. This schedule avoids having the banquet fall on the same day as the mass and second line.  It also means it’s the best year to invite your out-of-town friends because all three events are together on one fabulous long weekend, which rarely happens!
  • We’ll be changing our route a little and we’ll have a LATER START TIME of 8 p.m., with line-up at 6 p.m. It will still be the same length in the Quarter, with the same stops. We’re still waiting for final city approval, but here’s the route plan.

Resources for full members

  • If you’re trying to decide what to wear and where to march, here’s a previous newsletter discussing full member options for 2025.
  • The Members Only webpage has the krewe store, costume guide, throws guide, past photos, downloadable krewe logos and more.  There’s one password for all of us:  Joan1412    (case-sensitive). After you enter the password, re-load the page.
    • Note: You may also have created a user ID and password of your own if you want to store your purchase data. That user ID and password are between you and EasyCart,  completely unrelated to the Members Only password. If you created a personal shopping cart password and forgot it, just use the automatic “forgot password” to fix that.EasyCart manages that without disclosing your personal password or credit card info to Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc.
  • Want to have a buddy march with you?  If you purchased an individual membership, you have the option to add a companion for $50 anytime (limit one adult companion per full member). You can also invite friends to march free as foot soldier volunteers, costume-provided, carrying banners, walking security and shepherding props. On the foot soldier application, your friends can list your name, and we’ll try to assign them to a task near you.
