The Niceville High School Band represented Okaloosa County in the esteemed 2024 Tournament of Roses Parade on January 1 in Pasadena, CA.

This nationally renowned parade draws over 37 million television viewers and approximately 700,000 spectators annually, making it a remarkable opportunity for the band.

Notably, the Eagle Pride Marching Band has achieved the rare distinction of being invited back for a third time. The Eagle Pride was entry number 59 in the parade, and was the 9th band.

They made their way home safely on Tuesday and unloaded uniforms, instruments, equipment, and nearly 400 pieces of luggage.
