Rose Parade

Do you watch the Rose Parade? If so, look out for the 605 All-Star Band. They're #70 in the lineup. Anyway, I know some of those kiddos...

I don't work at all eight of the high schools that comprise the band, but I do work at a couple of them. (I have subbed for the band directors at one time or other. I've even written posts about those days.) So, yeah, I will know a few of the kiddos. 

Should be fun to see them.

  1. I'm DVRing the Rose Parade. I love to see the floats and some of the performers who show up year after year. I'll try to look out for the band but can't promise when I'll even see the recording. But it's nice that you know some participants.

    1. Yeah, I haven't seen the parade yet either. I'll watch it sometime this week, but no guarantee it'll be today.

    1. It was so cool to see them. I hope they'll be talking about it when school starts back up next week.

  6. I did get to see them via DVR. One huge conglomerate band, and I do mean huge. 550 some odd members and their highway themed costumes were pretty cool.

    1. Did you catch what they were playing? "Life is a Highway". When they practiced at one of the high schools, they took up half a stadium. Yup, there were a lot of them.
