We're spending the evening enjoying Live at Lincoln Center with the
always dour New York Philharmonic and the stunning Joshua Bell.

May the new year bring you all happiness and peace.

First annoyance of the New Year: why does Rose Parade coverage go to
commercial during marching band performances?

I know; always a problem from our POV. For 4 years, I conducted the
Tournament of Roses Honor Band from Pasadena City College. You may have
seen them today. About the only channels that do justice to the bands
is KTLA in L.A. Lots of careful talks between the media and the TofR
improved the situation when I was there in the early-mid 80s, but it has
deteriorated.

The TofR folks (all men, of course) are an interesting bunch. Notice
how there's ALWAYS a band from Hawaii in the parade? One of the
President's perks is to go to Hawaii to scout bands. lol

It's a grand event though, and I've become less cynical about it over
the years.


May the new year bring you all happiness and peace.

And to you Jenn and to all at r.a.o.

Happy New Year, all!

Consider yourself lucky. TV audio capture always makes the bands
sound pretty bad IMO.

Yep, certainly mostly true. The problem is the kids, parents, and
community being all hyped and raising thousands of dollars to get there
(not to mention the blood, sweat, and tears, literally, to get ready),
then all that Mom and Dad see in Nebraska is a Tidy Bowl commercial.

No, that was the Finger Bowl.

I spent the night sleeping on the curb of Orange Grove once to get a
front row seat of the parade. IIRC...we didn't see any bands there.
All floats. I think they added them into the parade at Colorado.

Actually, Orange Grove at Del Mar.
