Photos from the 120th Rose Parade

"Hats Off" to all 21 groups that performed in the 120th Tournament of Roses Parade on Jan. 1, 2009. With this year’s theme as “Hats Off to Entertainment,” a larger number of bands came from California. But bands also traveled from as far as Hawaii, Mexico and even England to pay tribute to Hollywood film and music. Here are some photos of the memorable "entertaining" event.

    The place I work for, Stanbury Uniforms, Brookfield MO, makes several of the uniforms for these bands including USC and Pasadena City Honor Band. These pics are great. It gives me a chance to show my daughter some of the uniforms I help make. Thanks
