Continuing the floats, here we see the Ohio State University float and band. They had to scoot from Pasadena to the Rose Bowl, so as to perform during halftime.
And here are the Oregon State cheerleaders - let's hear a Hoorah! They, too had to hurry to the Rose Bowl after they got to the end of the parade route.
This float showed past winners of the Rose Bowl game. You can see a larger version of the pic by clicking on it.
And here is a very attractive float by the City of Torrance, labelled Garden of Dreams. If you look carefully, you'll see that many floats use anthurium flowers. They have a rec oval-shaped leaf with a stamen that sticks out of the center. They are quite distinctive and grow only in Hawaii.
This is Barnyard Aces, interesting for those of us who are fliers.
These, of course, are a troupe of the Buffalo Soldiers. There was no indication where they are based. The only permanent location I know of is southwest of Tucson.
That's the end of this installment. Only one more to go.
