Students Representing Millersville University Marched in Rose Parade

Students marching in the 2013 Rose Bowl Parade

Millions of people tuned in on New Year's Day to watch the parades and festivities surrounding many bowl games. The Tournament of Roses in California started this tradition; the Rose Parade began as a promotional effort in the winter of 1890, and the Rose Bowl was added to the Tournament of Roses festivities in 1902 to help fund the cost of the parade. This year’s event featured some of the best young musicians in the United States, including two Millersville University students.
