Huge Congratulations to Our El Rancho Marching Dons! 
We are incredibly proud to announce that Katty Padilla (Cymbals) and Andreas De La Torre (Snare) have been selected to represent El Rancho High School in the prestigious 2026 Pasadena Rose Parade Honor Band! 
Adding to the celebration, Katty’s brother, Jose Padilla — an El Rancho Marching Band Alumni, Class of 2024 — has also earned a spot in the Honor Band playing Tenor Drums. What an amazing family legacy!
Your hard work, talent, and dedication have truly paid off. We’ll be cheering you on as you march proudly in one of the most iconic parades in the nation!
Go Katty, Andreas, and Jose! Go Marching Dons!
