Ohio State University heading from Macy's to Pasadena
When Ohio State University Marching Band members paraded through New York City on Thanksgiving Day, they may not have thought their season could get any better. But the school's football team landed a coveted spot in the upcoming Rose Bowl game, so the band will be marching in the Tournament of Roses Parade a mere 40 days after Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. While multiple bands have performed in both parades at some point in their history, it's extremely unusual for a band to appear in both parades during the same season. Congrats to TBDBITL!
