On March 4, 2022, National Marching Band Day, the Pasadena Tournament of Roses announced the 21 bands that will march into the New Year on January 2, 2023, in the 134th Rose Parade.

The bands will travel to Pasadena from across the United States and around the world, including China, Italy, Japan, Mexico and Panama. Thousands of performers will enjoy the experience of a lifetime when they march down Orange Grove and Colorado Blvd. The 2023 Rose Parade will feature six new bands ready to become part of Rose Parade history, as well as several bands that are Parade mainstays.
Bands are selected by the Association’s volunteer members based on a variety of criteria including, musicianship, marching ability and entertainment or special interest value.
Two university bands will be added to the lineup when the teams participating in the 109th Rose Bowl Game are determined in December.
