Two band members will travel to California in January.
Lindbergh High School seniors Andrew Bushway and Rachel Pavelka have earned the amazing opportunity to return to the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif., on Jan. 1, 2013. Both students have been selected by Music for All to be members of the Bands of America Honor Band. They were selected from among hundreds of applicants across the nation for membership in this prestigious national honor band. They originally marched together in the parade in 2011, when the Lindbergh Spirit of St. Louis Marching Band traveled to California for its second appearance as a collective group.

Practicing their music and viewing Rose Parade floats fills Thursday's schedule for the 208 Lindbergh High School students.
Only two more days until the Rose Parade when Lindbergh High School's marching band performs live for the nation from Pasadena along the 5.5-mile parade route. Meanwhile, the student musicians are apparently focused on the theme of this year's Rose Parade: "Building Dreams, Friendships & Memories."

Booster parent: A giant $6 sub sandwich proves to be the most effective fundraiser for the high school musicians' $400,000 trip to Pasadena.
The pre-dawn quiet of a South County morning is broken by the sounds of drums, brass and woodwinds as the Lindbergh High School Spirit of St. Louis Marching Band rehearses for California's Rose Parade on New Year's Day. This is the second year that parade officials invited Lindbergh to perform. The first was 2005. Just 15 bands are selected worldwide to march in the Rose Parade. Band members call the early morning workout "zero hour," describing the time they put in before first period of the regular school day. In a little more than three weeks, the band is scheduled to play at two high-profile events: the field show for the St. Louis Rams' Dec. 19 football game against Kansas City at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis and the 2011 Rose…
