Londonderry High School Marching Lancers
to return to the Roses Parade
The Londonderry High School Marching Lancer Band and Colorguard has been invited to participate in the 2011 Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade, one year from this upcoming New Year’s Day, in Pasadena, CA. The Lancers were invited by the 2011 Roses President, Jeffrey Throop, during Friday night’s football game, September 25th, by telephone as the students stood at attention on the field just as they were ready to perform their halftime show. The call went out over the PA system as the 300-plus members listened with excitement. The Lancers last appeared in the Roses Parade on January 1, 2004.

Television coverage is worldwide and includes most major networks. The Lancers will solely represent New England and New York State in this, the 122nd Roses Parade.
