I had the pleasure of marching in the Canadian Thanksgiving parade in Windsor, Ontario in high school! I was a majorette

いいねえ真面目に演奏し粛々と行進する 花を添える女性陣は可憐で逞しい これぞ正統アメリカスタイル Good, they play earnestly and march solemnly. The women who add flowers are lovely and strong. This is the true American style!

Norfolk State was excellent! You were obviously in a different section along the route. They performed in front of the viewing stand at the Norton Simon Museum and put on a show!

I’m an educator and the young people in those high school bands were underserved the band directors and adults in choice of music and drill. It was so low energy and we know our young people have a lot of energy and talent and they did not bring it out of the young people.

Note the horrible behavior of the tow trucks blasting the last band! What jerks.
Hate to say it but the quality of these bands are all over the place.. Messy colorguards, our of step from all sections. Mixed up uniforms from variety of schools to make one band. Numbers look small. Selection for this parade was extremely hard to even be considered when I marched in the late 90's.

I agree, all of the highschool marching bands besides the japanese bands are field bands, not parade bands, so they do not know how to move in uniform in a block as well

I see what you're saying, but most schools can't really help whether or not they have small numbers. The country as a whole doesn't support fine arts programs like they used to. Luckily some school districts and universities might prioritize fine arts. Also I think it's actually generous if a school that was selected decided to share the spotlight and include sister schools in the same county or school district. Especially since the likelihood of that high school (representing their school district) being chosen again is slim to none, even though only a handful of high schools have made several appearances.

@ZebraLens I know when I was Marching in high school the minimum requirement for a band IF they were invited to march in TofR was 100 marching musicians. In 93 castle park high school dressed up the middle school band (8th graders) and added them to the block. It fulfilled the numbers and made them look awesome. They made sure those middle school students marched and looked just as good as the real high school members. Castle park took so much pride in being a rose parade band. I went there for a year in 97 so I know how much work went into it. You'll notice in the past the bands are huge. I was shocked to see the numbers with some of these groups and how sloppy they marched. This is the parade of parades and everyone will tune in all over the world. So I was shocked to see how relaxed these groups were. No excuse is good enough for mediocre performance. I will say the Marine band always looks sharp and not every band was meh, but there was a handful that didn't bring their A game. It's the Tournament of Rose's parade!

@@ZebraLensthank you. My granddaughter is in a high school band and their numbers have dropped significantly within just a couple of years. The neighboring county has small numbers too because they combined with each other to march in our Veterans Day parade where in years past they marched separately
