CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - The Clover High School Marching Band is striking a powerful chord on a national stage. This talented small-town group has officially been invited to perform in the 137th Rose Parade® in Pasadena, California, set for 2026. The exciting announcement was delivered in person by Tournament of Roses Association® President Mark Leavens and his wife, Kay Leavens, who visited Clover to help ignite the community’s support and fundraising momentum.
Their visit marked the beginning of a major fundraising campaign to help make this dream a reality. With the honor of national recognition also comes the need for substantial financial support, and the Clover Bands are now turning to their community to help them reach their goal.
Supporters can contribute in a variety of ways — from general donations to the unique opportunity to “sponsor a mile,” helping the band move one step closer to the iconic Pasadena parade route.
