Rose Parade Practice at Dodger Stadium
Jean Wyshak sent these photos of what's become an annual performance event on the Dodger Stadium asphalt.
UPDATE: Turns out these pictures were of the Pasadena City College marching band, according to Tony White, who directs the L.A. Unified band.
The L.A. Unified band will be back on the 31st for a last-chance practice before the Big Parade.
We'll let you know the time when we can.

Reader Jean Wyshak sent the accompanying photos she shot on Dec. 26, 2011, showing that the tradition is alive and well.
We're awaiting confirmation, but we think she caught the L.A. Unified All-City Honor Marching Band in action.
The band is making its 40th appearance in a Rose Parade on Jan. 2--and played for dignitaries at Dodger Stadium last Wednesday too.
