Once again, the Rose Parade was a wonderfully musical way to begin the new year. I enjoyed all the units, and we had an outstanding group of bands from Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oregon,Tennessee, Texas and Washington. The international bands were also very impressive, including as they did units from Japan and Guatemala. I thought I would share photos of the California bands, since this forum caters primarily to the California marching band community. It is my intention to share photos of the other units as I sort them, and I hope to see others contribute some of theirs. On a side note, I missed the presence of a Northern California representative.

Once again, a memorable event.
