Posted @withregram • @tsuaristocrats #TBT What a time! When you think of California, you think of sand, sun, and warmth. However, when the AOB touched down for the Rose Bowl, it was plenty RAIN, RAIN, RAIN. 

We planned on practicing the parade outside, but it didn’t work for us because…rain. Upon leaving the hotel, the manager suggests that we practice in the mall across the street. The mall?

Turns out, the manager of our hotel knew the manager at Forever 21 and it was a simple phone call to make it happen—they had plenty of space. What you see here is the Aristocrat of Bands practicing in Forever 21 the day before the big parade. We couldn’t play our instruments indoors, so we had to hum our parts. 

When people believe in you and they have faith in you, they will make a way for your gifts and opportunities!
