Green Band

January 6, 2025

We can announce the next Green Band coming is the Minojiyu Gakuen Golden Bears from southern Japan in Toyonaka, Osaka. At this time we are expecting as many as 200 students. They will have what we have never seen in any other Green Band. They will have a group of possibly 50 cheerleaders. I am told they are the best of the best in Japan.

At this time we don't know the concert date. It could be the normal of January 2, 2026 or earlier like Kyoto Tachibana was. But I think I can say it will be a spectacular concert. Thank you so much for your support.

Sneak Peek video for you. This is a 57 minute YouTube video put together by the Green Band Association that features the 2026 Rose Parade Participation Announcement meeting. At the 6 minute mark you will see the students' amazing reaction to finding out they have been accepted to the 2026 Rose Parade. There are some speeches. Then at the 42 minute mark you will see a sampling of what you can expect at their performances.
