Saluting America's Band Directors invites you to pay tribute to someone special in your life by dedicating a flower to them that will ride on our float in the 2026 Rose Parade! You may choose to honor a person or memorialize a person. We will place the flower in the vial, put their name and their information/message on a label, attach it to the vial, and it will ride on the Saluting America's Band Directors float in the 137th Rose Parade on January 1, 2026. How cool is that!
NOTE: If you are interested in simply making a donation to our project rather than paying tribute to someone with a flower on our float, please click here.
Please do the following to order your flower vial that will ride on our float in the 2026 Rose Parade®:
- Choose a level from the “Pick a Donation Level” drop-down list. Any level of giving from the list qualifies you to place a flower and message on our Rose Parade float. The minimum donation is $25.
- We will only be accepting online payment by credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Shop Pay.
- If you don't see the exact amount you wish to donate, you may make multiple selections to add up to the desired figure. For example, donate $1000 by picking $500 and then a quantity of 2.
- Enter the name of the individual you would like to honor or memorialize. They can be a friend, relative, former band director or band member, or really anyone you choose.
- Enter brief information about them (e.g. their school, college, band, relationship to you, etc.) or a short message. Please keep it short.
- Select "In Honor of" or "In Memory of".
