The Rose Parade in Pasadena, California, has been a legendary event since the fifties, and millions of people around the world watch it on TV or come to Pasadena to watch the parade in person. Roses to the Rhythm of Hope is the first book written about the musical bands and directors who performed in the parade in 2019, just before the pandemic.
The two authors, Sonia B. F Arias and Miriam Burbano, wrote the stories of this anthology after carefully interviewing each of the directors of these bands.
What you can expect to read is about the bands’ directors’ biography and also about the students who play in the band, as well as the histories of when the bands started to perform.
Roses to the Rhythm of Hope is a book that should be in the library of each musician or in the one of a person who enjoys the different aspects of the Rose Parade.
This book also dedicates a section to the profiles of the board of administrators of this magnificent event. They are the people responsible for organizing it year by year and making sure that every single detail is taken care of.
The good news is that Roses to the Rhythm of Hope was written in English but also in Spanish, so this information is shared with your Spanish-speaking readers.
This book is cultural and educational because your children and grandchildren, who have musical aptitudes and play any type of musical instrument or have performed in the school band, will enjoy reading the stories of these students, and they will be amazed how they were chosen because of their excellence in performance.
The Band Directors of the Rose Parade are exceptional musicians that you probably never dreamed of knowing. The book narrates who they are and how their careers started. It discusses mainly how they became international musicians.
