The parade will be led off by Burbank’s own beautiful black stallion, “Music of the Knight,” followed by a gigantic birthday cake built by the Burbank Tournament of Roses Assn.
Appearing in the parade for the first time will be rock ’n’ roll group Captain Cardiac. The parade will also feature the Southern California Peruvian Paso Horse Club that appeared in the 2011 Tournament of Roses Parade. SpongeBob SquarePants will amuse the crowd as he catches a ride in Burbank's Tournament of Roses’ Hot Rod float.
