ROSE PARADE

Friday morning, the 56 floral floats, 22 marching bands and 25 equestrian units in the 110th Rose Parade will display the results of months of planning and hard work as they make their way down Colorado Boulevard.

PARADE FACTS

81st Rose Queen

Christina Leanne Farrell will reign over this year’s parade after being selected from among more than 800 young women from the Pasadena area. The 17-year-old senior attends Arcadia High School, where she is a section leader for percussionists in the Apaches Marching Band and a member of the varsity volleyball team. Farrell is a member of the National Honor Society and the National Youth Leadership Conference.

Grand MarshalS

Four grand marshals will represent the 20th century and lead the 1999 Rose Parade. Astronaut Edwin E. “Buzz” Aldrin Jr., filmmaker David L. Wolper, screen legend Shirley Temple Black and, posthumously, baseball great Jackie Robinson. Pasadena native Robinson, who broke the color barrier in baseball as the first African American in the major leagues, will be represented by his lifelong friend, Ray Bartlett. For Temple Black, it will be her third time as grand marshal.
