Clovis High School had quite a Friday night.

First, it was announced at halftime of the Cougars’ football that the marching band and color guard will take part in the 2027 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena. And then the football team polished off a 45-7 victory over Clovis North to improve to 6-1.

Cougars’ band director Esmeralda Rocha Lozano, who has kept the big news secret for several weeks, celebrated the big reveal with her students.

“It truly is a dream come true that has been years in the making. Marching down Colorado Boulevard is both a celebration of our students’ hard work and a tribute to the legacy of excellence that has defined our program for generations,” Rocha Lozano said.

The Clovis High band last marched in the Rose Parade in 1986.
