SambaLa's Preparation for the Rose Parade
It is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for SambaLa Samba School to parade in the Rose Parade, the most famous parade in the United States, now in it's 121st year. SambaLa will be part of the Jack-in-the-Box float who is paying homage to "Carnaval".
This is a voluntary show and we are needing the help and participation of all of SambaLa's members.
Don't miss out on this incredible experience where we can show over 40 million television viewers the beauty and music of the Brazilian culture!
We need helpers EVERY DAY with costumes right up to the parade.
All dancing and drumming positions and alternates are filled.
