US EditionMarching band highlights from the 2026 Rose Parade in Pasadena
The 2026 Rose Parade featured 20 bands from across the U.S., Mexico, and Japan performing precise marching and the signature TV corner turn on Orange Grove Blvd.
- This year, the 2026 Rose Parade recap highlights the lineup including the University of Alabama Million Dollar Band, the Indiana University Marching Hundred and the Bands of America Honor Band.
- The parade's signature maneuver, the TV corner turn at Orange Grove Blvd, is one of the most exciting moments for Pasadena viewers and demands perfect timing from each line.
- Stride patterns explain why the corner looks dramatic as the outside marcher takes the largest strides while each person to their right shortens steps, and outside members cover roughly five times the distance of inside marcher.
- Large ensembles rehearsed the corner in advance; last year the 605 All‑Star Band practiced the turn in Norwalk with its 500 member band, while some groups add flair, like the Toho Marching Band in 2024.
- Each New Year's Day the parade gathers bands from across the country and globe for the annual Pasadena Rose Parade, while Bandfest 2025 returns to Pasadena City College.
