45. My favorite Marching Band in the parade. ...
Fri Jan 3, 2025, 07:52 PM

High energy, loud and they played some Luther Vandross - Never Too Much, in front of our viewing stands.
We could hear them 2 blocks away.

Here is an hours worth of Jackson St. at the Tournament of Roses Parade video, from 2025 New Years Day.
The title says 2024, but believe me it is 2025
This video starts right at the start of the parade.
At the 7:35, is when they started playing Luther. At 8:40 they were right in front of me.
I was sitting in the bleacher stands to the left. The Drum Majors were just to the left of me when they started,
so the sound just got better as they approached.
It seemed like I was to only one that recognized the song, because I was the only one singing.

They played The Temptations "Get Ready" in front of the National Feed Cameras (ABC, FOX) on Orange Grove.
When they turned the corner on to W. Colorado Blvd. they played Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out For A Hero" in front of the NBC National feed cameras and local KTLA cameras.

Maybe you can find your nephew. ENJOY the 3 videos.



Here is the full parade from the FOX feed.
Jackson St. appears at 26:17 until 31:17 in front of the Orange Grove Blvd. National feed cameras.
