How Do You Get To The Rose Bowl Parade?

0

Practice, man, practice. I’m paraphrasing the old Carnegie Hall joke, but for many who are venturing out to Pasadena, California to be part of the pageantry and tradition of the longest-running parade in the history of the United States, this is exactly what it takes. For young people who are members of marching bands, the journey starts a year or two in advance with lots of planning and work. One band in particular, the Bands of America Honor Marching Band, starts its planning about four years in advance of its next Rose Bowl parade appearance. This combined band features students from every state in the nation. Students audition electronically, making a recording and e-mailing it to the Bands of America staff for evaluation. A resume must be submitted, too. Although the honor band features over 300 members – musicians, flag carriers, and dancers – it’s not easy to gain acceptance. These outstanding musicians are the tops at their schools as well as in their state. Many are All-State
