The group will perform at the Tournament of Roses on January 1, 2016 in Pasadena.
"As far as an undertaking, it has been incredible. It is all going to pay off on January 1 when we're on national TV," said Allen High Band Director Blane Hinton. "I kind of lead the charge, but basically they run the show."

The cost per student is $1,600. Hinton says the total cost for the trip will be $1.2 million.
