Interviews & B-Roll: Tournament of Roses President Visit to Jax State

Jacksonville, AL (04/08/2026) — Following last week's visit from President and Chairman of the Board for the 2027 Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association Terry Madigan, I wanted to share video and b-roll that you are welcome to use in coverage of Jax State's Marching Southerners and their upcoming trip to the 2027 Rose Parade Presented by Honda.

The package includes interview footage with:

Terry Madigan, President and Chairman of the Board for the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association

Dr. Jeremy Stovall, Director of Bands at Jacksonville State University

Members of the Marching Southerners: Celeste Owens, Emma Larson, Jacob Lokhorst, Jade Watson, Kaden Burgess, and Miguel Velasquez-Baltazar

B-roll includes footage of the Marching Southerners performing, as well as scenes from Madigan's visit to campus.

This visit provided a behind-the-scenes look at one of the nation's most recognized New Year's traditions and highlighted what it means for Jax State to be selected for the 138th Rose Parade Presented by Honda.

You can access and download the footage here.

If you need anything additional or would like help pulling specific clips, I'm happy to assist. Thank you for your coverage.

Thanks, Josh
