On Oct 13th, the Music Committee visited Remo USA, makers of precision drum heads and a long time sponsor of Bandfest. Remo provides commemorative parade themed drum heads to all of our participating bands...and I have seen this year's version! I can't show you them right now as I await formal approval to post an image, but I can say that they look great.

Thanks to Robert Shen, Bruce Jacoby and Sean Knuth of Remo for this wonderful experience.

On Saturday, October 10th the Tournament of Roses and Remo Percussion held Music Celebration Day at Tournament House.

In celebration of World Mental Health Day, a workshop exploring the healing power of music was led by the acclaimed Rhythm Wellness and You Program. And to conclude the event, a community drum circle was held on the front lawn of Tournament House.

Here are a few photos from the event.

Tournament House in Pasadena, California, is the official headquarters of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association, serving as the year-round base for organizing the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game.

Last December, the Tournament of Roses hosted the 2027 Rose Parade Band Directors for an overview of the parade and to meet with their Music Committee Band Liaisons.

All this communication, planning and organization is necessary to ensure that our bands have a most wonderful and memorable experience with us on New Year's Day.

See you soon!

Yesterday, I was in a meeting where 2027 Rose Parade President Terry Madigan was asked when the upcoming bands were selected. And he said that the process began two years ago with prospective bands submitting applications.

But I want to share with you a photo from 9/4/24 where we, the Tournament of Roses Music Committee, met with Terry and his husband Kevin to discuss some of his priorities with respect to the 2027 band recruitment process. As you can see, it's a long process for us and our participating bands.

And we think that the bands you will see in a few months are exceptional, entertaining and representative of their communities.
