Pasadena, CA. (Feb. 6, 2018) – The Pasadena Tournament of Roses® has selected 20 of the marching bands that will participate in the 130th Rose Parade presented by Honda, themed “The Melody of Life.” The bands will travel to Pasadena from across the United States and around the world, including Canada, Costa Rica, Japan, Puerto Rico, and Sweden. There are two bands that will be added to the line-up when the universities participating in the 105th Rose Bowl Game® presented by Northwestern Mutual are determined.
Guided tours inside Tournament House, the iconic Southern California landmark, open to the public. Tours will be offered, at no cost, every Thursday at 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM beginning February 1. Tournament of Roses volunteers from the Heritage Committee, knowledgeable of the organizations' history and details of the house, conduct the tours.
Occasionally, 60 minutes isn’t enough time to determine a football game. In the 103 previous editions of the Rose Bowl Game, overtime wasn’t needed. But the 104th edition of the Granddaddy of Them All would break the overtime barrier, not once, but twice on the way to a Georgia Bulldogs 54-48 victory over the Oklahoma Sooners.
