The Londonderry High School Marching Lancers have become
the first band in the New York - New England region to appear
three times in the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, CA.

After waking up at 3, having breakfast at 4, leaving on the bus by 5:15, the Lancers watched the sun rise as they left their bus, parked on a closed section of a California freeway. The band successfully unloaded and went to their staging area in 5 minutes.

 

 

 

5.5 Miles later, and after lunch at the end of the parade, the Lancers were off to Santa Monica Pier.

... And a senior moment.
