Exciting news! I applied (along with 700 other band directors around the country) for the opportunity to march in the 2026 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, CA with the America's Band Director Marching Band.

It is a HUGE expense as we have to make payments to the organization's travel company for five all-inclusive days in California. In addition to that, I have to pay for my way TO California and back as well as two dinners.
