Pearland High School Band Shines at the Rose Parade
Our neighbors to the North, Pearland High School Band, represented our area well on Wednesday in the Rose Parade in California. This annual event is held every New Year’s Day in Pasadena, Ca part of the pre-game celebration for the Rose Bowl. The 350 members band had the privileged to be invited due to their contribution in their community following Hurricane Harvey. We are very proud to have had Pearland High School performed Celebration in front of a national audience. The band performed the hit “Celebration” and came out looking really good on television.
