Today we traveled to Pasadena City College stadium to watch 7 of the 20 marching units in the Rose Parade perform their field shows. We saw high school bands from Wyoming, Alabama, and 2 from Georgia along with the TCU and West Carolina Univ. bands. What an outstanding event! These high school bands are so creative, high energy and wonderfully sounding. We hated to leave! Other performances were to go on later in the afternoon and we missed ones from yesterday.
We then traveled to Hollywood to attend the production of "West Side Story". Since we had some time to kill before the show, we walked the walk of stars along Hollywood Blvd. As long as you are looking down at the stars you don't see the very seedy side of what should be a glamorous area. So many sex stores, costumes and liquor establishments. Not what I expected! On the other hand the Pantages Theatre was fabulous. They had restored the interior a few years ago to its original 50's Art Deco decor. And the musical was really good! The female performer who played the part of Maria was also the voice of Jasmine in Disney's Aladdin.
