Remember to watchCypress High School Imperial Brigadein the Rose Parade on New Year’s Day!
Tournament of Roses ParadeLouis Zemperini — Olympic runner, World
War II soldier and prisoner of war, inspirationalspeaker, subject of the current movieUnbroken — was chosen as the GrandMarshal of the 2015 Tournament of RosesParade as a shining exemplar of the Parade’stheme, Inspiring Stories.
Mr. Zemperini passed away on July 2,2014, shortly before the movie was released,but members of the Tournament of Rosesstrongly wished to move forward withrecognizing Mr. Zemperini and his life, told inthe book Unbroken: A World War II Story ofSurvival, Resilience, and Redemption byLaura Hillenbrand.
The University of Southern California (USC)was very special to Louis Zamperini. TheUniversity remains very special to his family.
To honor this great man and all he hasdone for the world, the Tournament of Roseshas arranged to have the USC MascotTraveler® participate in the New Year’s Dayactivities.
Hector Aguilar — Tommy Trojan at USCfootball games — will ride Traveler 7, anAndalusian that has been the University’sequine mascot for thirteen years.
In the honor position of the CaparisonHorse beside Traveler 7 wll be Traveler 9, anineteen-year-old Andalusian gelding.
One of the oldest and most evocative ofmilitary traditions in a full honor funeral is thatof the riderless, caparisoned horse. The horseis led behind the caisson wearing an emptysaddle with the rider’s boots reversed in thestirrups, indicating the warrior will never rideagain.
Beside the riderless horse will be anactive-duty soldier in uniform to recognize theservice of Louis Zamperini in the U.S. Army.
The Caparison Horse group will precedethe family of Louis Zamperini in the RoseParade. Mr. Zamperini’s children and theirspouses will ride in a beautiful 1936 PackardStandard Eight shown in the photo below.
This chic vehicle has a very interestinghistory, as fewer than ten of them wereproduced.
This particular vehicle was exported toRussia in the 1930s as a gift to Joseph Stalin.
Provided from the collection of theAutomobile Driving Museum in El Segundo,California, the vehicle is elegantly decoratedby Florists Transworld Delivery (FTD) .
A crowd favorite returns — the skies overPasadena never feel so safe as when the B-2Spirit stealth bomber flies the Tournament ofRoses parade route, air power in its purestand most elegant form. Take a moment toremember the members of the U.S. ArmedForces stationed around the world who protectour freedoms.
In a similar vein, watch for the UnitedStates Marine Corps Mounted Color Guard(based in Barstow) andthe United StatesMarine Corps WestCoast Composite Band(based in San Diego).Nobody does marchingbands better — noteven USC!
Offering somevintage color, membersof the Los AngelesCounty FireDepartment will ride instyle aboard horse-drawn Steam FireEngine 226 wearingFirefighter "Class A"Dress Uniform.
The two teams in this year’s Rose Bowl —the University of Oregon Ducks and FloridaState’s Seminoles — will of course each berepresented by a float and their marchingbands.
This year’s class of Rose Bowl Game Hallof Fame Inductees will ride down ColoradoBlvd. in a sharp, fully restored 1955 CadillacSeries 62 convertible, provided by GeoffAbadee. The inductees are Knute Rockne(represented by his grandson, Knute RockneIII), Dick Vermeil, and Ki-Jana Carter.
The 280-member Salvation ArmyTournament of Roses Band has beenmarching in the Parade for 95 years! These
sharply-dressed, big-hearted workers in theLord’s fields can befound wherever ahelping hand is needed— their work followingHurricane Katrina islegendary.
Another dynamitenon-profit is LionsClubs International,locally represented bytwo powerhouses inSeal Beach and BuenaPark. Watch for theirfloat!
Also strong in ourlocal communities is Rotary International,with Clubs in Cypress and Seal Beach/LosAlamitos. Each year, Rotary’s high school KeyClubs help decorate the organization’s float,which this year emphasizes “Changing LivesThrough Clean Water.”

Written by a man who could express deepemotions with the sweetest singing musicallines, Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto isexpressed by Augustin Hadelich, praised forhis poetic sensitivity and gorgeous tone,during Pacific Symphony’s first concert of thenew year.
A star of his generation, Hadelich wasfeatured on the cover of the May 2014 issue ofStrings Magazine and is making aninternational presence across North America,Europe and Asia this season.
“The essence of Hadelich’s playing isbeauty...revealing something from a planebeyond ours,” says the Washington Post
The Symphony, led by guest conductorLeo Hussain, also performs Jean Sibelius’Symphony No. 2 in D Major, a piece of Nordiccharm full of joyful energy.
Requiem by Toru Takemitsu (1930-1996)opens the program with an innovative blendof Western and Eastern musical styles.
Tchaikovsky’s Concerto in D Major makesfor a luminous centerpiece with its gracefullyricism, contrasting bright and dark melodiesand exuberant energy. This excitement wasfound in the music, but also in the composerhimself. In fact, Tchaikovsky was so eager towrite a violin concerto that he startedcomposing it before he had finished hisgreatest opera,Eugene Onegin.
Although itsdedicatee, the greatviolinist LeopoldAuer, firstpronounced theconcerto“unplayable,” it has
since become one of the most beloved andprogrammed solo violin works in therepertoire.
Complimenting this classic is Sibelius’joyful Symphony No. 2, a piece that somebelieve reflects the political state of thecomposer’s homeland. If this is the case, theSymphony of Independence depicts Finland’sfight for cultural liberation from Russia. Abright and optimistic beginning can be heardas the people of Finland hope for theirfreedom. The resistance and suffering underforeign dominion is reflected in the darkersecond movement. A triumphant finaledescribes the eventual emergence of Finlandas a free nation.
The performance opens with Requiem, aunique musical compilation by Japanesecomposer Takemitsu, a self-taught composerwho discovered Western music at age 14 whileliving in a shelter in the mountains west ofTokyo during World War II. He wrote morethan 180 concert pieces as well as scores forsuch Japanese films as Ran, Rising Sun, andHarakiri. The piece combines the naturalismof Japanese culture with the urbansophistication of globalized countries.
The Symphony’s Classical series is madepossible by the Hal and Jeanette SegerstromFamily Foundation, with additional supportfrom Mercedes-Benz, the official vehicle; the
Avenue of theArts WyndhamHotel; KUSC andPBS SoCal. Theartist appearanceof Hadelich issponsored bySam B. Ersan.
