Herald trumpets

Herald trumpets

The herald trumpets, an elite group of 9 trumpet players and one snare drummer, precede the Rose Court float in Pasadena, California's annual Tournament of Roses parade. These players are selected from hundreds of students, both high school and college aged, that play particularly well in their auditions for the Pasadena City College Honor Band. The herald trumpets also participate in several smaller events the week before January 1 alongside the honor band. These events include three bandfests, in which bands from around the world that are participating in the rose parade come to play their field shows, and a parade through disneyland. http://www.pasadena.edu/tofrband/images/1494.jpg
