This coverage by CNN of the 2026 Rose Bowl Parade tells the story behind the Band Directors Marching Band. | Marquette City Band

They’ve done it again! 🌹 The Band Directors Marching Band triumphed at the 2026 Rose Parade, earning an enthusiastic, heartfelt response from the crowd—including spontaneous standing ovations from many spectators. Despite persistent rain, the 360 members, ages 19 to 82, delivered a brilliant sound and a visually stunning performance as the Michael D. Sewell Memorial Foundation float passed seamlessly through the band’s formation. Congratulations to directors Jon Waters, John Cisetti, and Hongla
