For those not familiar with the Rose Parade - and I know you are out there - the entries fall into four general categories: bands, horses, service groups, and the floats.
The bands were great - my hat is off to all those kids marching 5 miles some carrying small and large instruments! When they got to us after going for 2 hours they still had spirit and zeal! The college bands are my favorites but there were also bands from Mexico, Japan, and bagpipes!





The college bands rock! They play so well and with such enthusiasm. They are always matched with the cheerleaders, mascot, and team float.......
This band from Mexico was so joyful and seemed to be having a great time.
Pretty girls.......

Love the bagpipes....
The high school bands are always so thrilled to be there and seem to enjoy the experience - though by the end when they got to us there were some poor souls visibly in pain from carrying tubas and base drums over 5 miles and for 2 hours!
I think this band is entered almost every year....
The horses were beautiful - and decked out .......
