One of the exciting bands not to miss in the Rose Parade on January 1: The Band Directors Marching Band! More than 280 current and retired band directors from all 50 states came together to form this group which will accompany the Michael D. Sewell Memorial Foundation float titled, ”Saluting America’s Band Directors: We Teach Music. We Teach Life.” The group was a hit with the large crowd (which stayed even in pouring rain) at Bandfest this afternoon. The band is unit 59 in Saturday’s #RoseParad
