The 1941 Rose Bowl Parade

In 1940, the University of Nebraska finally had a good football team, and the civilian-led Cornhusker Marching Band was invited to march in the Rose Bowl Parade on January 1, 1941. It was unusual at the time for a band to be invited, let alone raise the money needed to make the trip. But they did, and the parade remains a favorite memory of band members at the time. We have more about the trip in the "Tradition" section.
