The 2022 Rose Parade

Marching in the world-famous Rose Parade before millions of spectators in Pasadena and viewers around the world is an opportunity few get. For band directors, it can be a life-long dream, a career capstone and a life-changing experience. We are very gratified that 270 band directors were able to salute their peers!
