There’s No Joy For FJC Musicians As War Cancels New Year’s Parade There’s No Joy For FJC Musicians As War Cancels New Year’s Parade All is gloom today for 50 members of the Fullerton junior college band which was to march in the Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena New Year’s day. The parade, the tournament, and the accompanying Rose Bowl football game were all cancelled this week by orders from the War Department. The Hornet band was to have appeared in the parade in conjunction with a float sponsored by the American Legion and Chamber of Commerce of Laguna Beach, who nominated the jaysee musicians, since official regulations had prohibited the entry of a band in the parade unless accompanied by a float. The band and float were to have been the only Orange County representatives in the tournament, and with the cancellation went glimmering the visions of a free Rose Bowl game ticket for every musician.
