Westlake High School Marching Thunder, Saratoga Springs, Utah
by Laura Berthold Monteros
Marching units that are invited to the Tournament of Roses Parade are among the highest quality in the United States. Their musicality and marching precision must meet rigorous standards. A high school band cannot march in the parade more often than once every four years, so almost all the students are new—and excited—when they walk along Colorado Blvd.
This photo gallery includes marching entries in the 129th Rose Parade from east of the Rockies.
