I'm guessing not since historically it's always been around the timeframe of a game but didn't know if they've ever done it or ever been invited.

Good luck. I think the parade spots are all Filled with tran*ny clown dance parties

I tried to watch with my kids this morning, but turned it off after 20min. We saw one Dora the Explorer float, the rest was talking or dancing that I did want my kiddos exposed to. A far cry from growing up watching it at grandma's house in the 80s.

Not possible since we always play someone on or around Thanksgiving

Yes, the Bryan Christmas Parade.

I marched in 2 New Year day Cotton Bowl parades; 1986 and 1987

Thanks for sharing that. I'd never heard of this one:

The Ann Richards Marching Stars is a marching band from the Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders, located in Austin, Texas. The band, billed as the pride of the school, is the only all-female competitive marching band in the United States.

We saw them at a high school band competition our kids were in last month. They were terrific!

Have they done the Rose Bowl Parade? Parsons MC did it awhile back if I remember correctly.

Is that even real?!

How do they pull an all girls school in a public ISD nowadays?! That's sexist and discriminatory

You raise an interesting point. From my understanding of Title IX, there are exceptions for gender based schools as long as alternatives for the other gender are available. This is the AI summary I got when asking if there were a male alternative to the Richards school:

"No, there is no direct male-only equivalent to the Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders in Austin. While the Ann Richards School is a unique, publicly funded all-girls' school focused on leadership, there is no single school with the same mission specifically for boys in the area. However, there are other leadership development programs and schools with different structures available to male students in Austin, as well as co-ed options."
