What you saw is called a "second line." The tradition started with funerals -- but since New Orleans loves a parade, it has been expanded to follow just about every major event (weddings, graduations, etc.). I love when we happen across a second line!!
Hope your noise situation abates. I think it can happen anywhere but does seem to be more prevalent in urban "party atmosphere" locations (we experienced it recently in Miami). When I was younger and couldn't afford it, I always wanted to stay in a balcony room at the Royal Sonesta. Finally did it a couple of years ago and tried to nap ........... during a LSU game! Needless to say, I no longer see the charm in those balcony rooms at the Royal Sonesta! Some things are better left for the young!
Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip and are able to get some sleep. My experience is that a lot of people (me included!) often don't stay for the entire week. If the noisy neighbors don't leave, you should ask for another room as some will almost assuredly open up tomorrow or Tuesday.
