Morgan State’s marching band heads to the Rose Parade in 2026
Morgan State University’s Magnificent Marching Machine has been selected to perform in the 137th Rose Parade in 2026.
This will be the university’s first performance in the iconic parade that takes place every January in Pasadena, California, and follows another groundbreaking first: the band’s participation in the annual D-Day memorial parade, the first-ever Historically Black College or University (HBCU) to do so. This historic opportunity allows us to showcase the exceptional talent, energy and spirit of our students on an international stage.
It’s estimated that 50 million people worldwide watch the parade, broadcast in more than 170 countries. Approximately 20-25 bands are chosen to perform.
The marching machine is one step closer to completing the "Triple Crown" of parade events, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day, Rose, and U.S. Presidential Inauguration Parade.
