Everything's Coming Up Roses...45 Years Later.

The boisterous Ethel Merman sang "Everything's Coming Up Roses" in 1959 for the Broadway Musical "Gypsy." It was a memoir of sorts brought to life on the stage. The show sent the message that sheer will and determination can put the rose-filled mindset in place to be successful. The show was based on the life of Gypsy Rose Lee.
20 years later, everything did come up roses for the Aurora High School Marching Band--who performed in the Rose Bowl Parade before millions of viewers to put Aurora on the map once again.
Join me this week in my trip down memory lane for a special New Year's Celebration.
