Countdown to the 2022 Rose Parade

The Saluting America’s Band Directors project is a historic, once-in-a-lifetime event: participating in the 2022 Rose Parade® in Pasadena, California! The Tournament of Roses® has approved our combined entry of a spectacular animated float which will lead an unprecedented marching band of band directors from all across the country, as we recognize and salute the exceptional instruction, character development and inspiration provided by music educators everywhere. 

We are delighted that all 50 states and Mexico are represented in the Band Directors Marching Band. (To see a map indicating marchers by city, click here.)
