December 28, 2003 Once in a lifetime! Over 190 musicians plus auxiliaries. The TCHS Pride of Temple City band will appear in the Rose Parade for the first time ever. They're the only California band in the RP this year. (Regular news list appears below.)
If you can, please record the parade from cable. I'll then use the recording to make a digital excerpt for the TCHS alumni site. (We'll ask permission of the sources before publishing, of course, so take note of which station you're recording. We have a right to limited use under the "Fair Use Doctrine" of the US Supreme Court for purposes of journalistic review.) Of course, if you're planning to attend in person, please take your video camera - or rent one for the occasion. Videotape would be good; digital video would be a godsend. Official order of march per Pasadena Star News has the band at #92: "92. The Temple City High School Band and Pageantry Corps -- This is the first parade for the 216-member group. Over the past three years the program has earned 21 first-place or sweepstakes awards. " That means they'll depart Orange Grove Ave around 9:30 AM Pacific time -- or so, but this is not a close estimate. The preceding elements are listed below for heads-up purposes. It's usually possible to get at least two views as any given element of the parade passes different stations' cameras. The Rose Parade will be broadcast on ABC, NBC, CBS, Univision, HGTV, Telemundo, Travel Channel, Discovery HD and KTLA in the Los Angeles area, and elsewhere local stations pick up one of those feeds. KTLA (5 in LA) is always at the corner of OG and Colo. Blvd., so they'll have an early view. If you are able to tape the band's passage, please let me know, and I'll arrange to collect videos. Use your eyes; if it looks terrible, don't send it. Please don't send without contacting me first for instructions. Thanks, Rees

I'd like to get a video of the parade on 1/1/04 for the Alumni Magazine, but I don't have the technology. I use use ordinary broadcast TV and my local signal is undependable. (I use all my telecommunications energy swearing at Verizon - or whatever they've renamed themselves this week.)
