Pearland High School marching band headed to the Rose Parade

HOUSTON (FOX 26) - Pearland High School is getting the recognition of a lifetime.

They have been selected to march in the 2020 Rose Parade. There were 100 applications that came in for that honor and “The Pride of Pearland” was one of almost 21 bands globally that were selected. Five perennial bands already have a spot, which left 16 lucky spots. 

The Tournament of Roses Association President Laura Farber says that not only were they selected for their musical talent, but for all of their efforts during Hurricane Harvey. 

Joe Muñoz, Director of Bands at Pearland High School says it’s very humbling knowing the process that it takes to be selected. He’s very thankful to the seniors that unfortunately will be moving on and not participating, although they are the reason for the honor. 

Congratulations to Pearland High School!
