Orchesis is composed of Pasadena High School students who have a passion for dance and performance. “Orchesis has helped me become a better person and allows me to express myself through dance,” said senior Ryann Reynoso.
The parade is a staple of Pasadena culture and draws thousands to Fair Oaks Avenue and the Jackie Robinson Community Center to see local schools, cultural groups and celebrities along the one and a half mile parade route.
