Bluffton Lions support Ohio School for Blind Marching Band in Rose Bowl parade
As you watch the Rose Bowl Parade on television on new year's day, you'll see two talented blind marching units with a Bluffton connection.
The Bluffton Lions Club is a supporter of the Lions White Cane Blind Precision Drill team and the Ohio State School for the Blind (OSSB) Marching Band, which is grouped with the Lions Clubs International float.
Marching in front of the Lions Clubs International float entry "Decades of Service" is the Lions White Cane Blind Precision Drill team from Tustin, Calif. The Lions' entry is eighth in the Rose Parade order of march.
According to Dick Ramseyer and Dick Boehr, of the Bluffton Lions Club, the Ohio State School for the Blind Marching Band is from Columbus. It will follow the Lions' float as a separate marching band unit. Through travel expenses provided by a vigorous fundraising campaign by members of Lions clubs in Ohio, including Bluffton, the OSSB Marching Band is making its first-ever trip to Pasadena and the Rose Parade.
The band consists of 68 participants.
