Full information is available at www.marching.com but don’t forget that the parade will be held Monday, January 2 and not on Sunday. And don’t forget to watch! There are three well known BOA bands marching this year! They are Rockford HS from Rockford, Michigan; Rosemount HS from Rosemount, Minnesota; and Vista Ridge HS from Cedar Park, Texas. |

Keep an eye on Pella HS! They are from a town of about 10,500 just 40 miles southeast of Des Moines and are really good. There are rumors that they might be at the Des Moines Regional next year and could easily be a favorite to win Class A.

LA has been dry most the year and the one time my most anticipated event comes to town it rains all week FML. I’ll be attending the 3rd show with Vista Ridge and Rosemount, will the show still be happening if there’s rain? There’s pretty much never lightning here so I’m hopeful it’s still happening.

It rained throughout the session of Bandfest I was at last year and the show went on as planned - albeit with altered performances to account for the conditions. |

Poor Rockford. TV went to commercial when they were next Yes that was rude! The year my daughter marched in the Rose Parade with Franklin, TN there was a giant robot float right behind them that had the loudest speaker system known to man. The band direct went to a parade official and told them "Franklin did not pay $100,000 and fly across the country to be drowned out by a float!" This was 1996 and back then Franklin marched over 300. Unbelievable trip and the parade live is absolutely amazing. |

It was so frustrating. |
