Greendale Band To Perform Rose Parade Preview Show

GREENDALE, WI — The Wisconsin Badgers are headed to the 2020 Rose Bowl in Pasadena, and one local school will be showcasing their marching band in their last Wisconsin performance before the big day.

The Greendale High School Marching Band will perform a free Rose Parade Preview Concert event on Saturday, Dec. 14, at 4 p.m. in Stephen J. Gavinski Stadium on the Greendale High School campus, 6801 Southway, Greendale.

The event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. The band will march the fall field show and will perform both songs that will be played on the 5.5 mile parade route in California.

This is the 220-member band’s final Wisconsin public performance in 2019 before marching in the 131st Rose Parade in Pasadena, California, on New Year’s Day.

In case of inclement weather, the event will be moved indoors to the Greendale High School auditorium.

The Pasadena Tournament of Roses selected the Greendale High School Band as one of 20 marching bands that will participate in the 131st Rose Parade. The band will travel to Pasadena to march in America's New Year Celebration.

The Rose Parade broadcast begins at 10 a.m. CDT in the Milwaukee area. Check local television listings for more information.
