| Congratulations to Richard Burrow from Mission
Viejo, California for winning our 2013 Design Contest. The parade
theme is from the Dr. Seuss book "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"
we plan on going on an under the sea journey. Above is the winning
concept drawing that has been accepted by Pasadena Tournament of Roses
Association and will now go to our Design Committee to craft it into a
float. |
 |
The Design Committee got to work, even before final
approval came in from Pasadena. It started with an all-hands
brainstorming session, then followed-up by Design Committee who reviewed
all the suggestions. To the left is an early revision drawing. |
|
Committee loved the design of the float from the back.
Deco Committee was worried about decorating the sea castle, design
committee came up with some new ideas that Richard Burrow (designer)
will draw out. |
 |
 |
Minus the base of the float, the design committee approved the look of
this design. Some small changes are: Make the "big bird" looking sea
horses look more like the original design. Make the small crab on the
octopus bigger and have him point towards the front of the float. |
The design committee liked the idea of a satellite float but decided the
lobster would be reduced in size and be placed on the lower right side
of the float.
|
 |
 |
The
design committee came up with the idea of seeing some sea critters
building a Sand Castle. This is the concept drawing that will be added
to the back of the float. |
|
 |
| This is very close to the final line drawing. In order to not
make the drawing so crowded, the submarine and Octopus are slightly
separated from the base (pod) of the float, however, the actual
submarine will be on the pod and not floating above it. |
 |
Similar to the drawing above, with some minor revisions. |
| Additional tweaks continue to make the drawing
simpler... |

Additional tweaks continue on the line drawing... |
| The General Membership voted at the April General
Meeting to title the float, "Deep Sea Adventures" and our Design
Committee came up with the short float description. |
Deep Sea
Adventures
An adventurous girl takes a magical journey in her colorful submarine.
Oh, the places she will go, with the help of her underwater friends. Her
tour will not be complete until she sees all seven wonders of the marine
world. This is Burbanks’s 81st entry for the 124th Tournament of Roses
parade. The float is designed by Richard Burrow from Mission Viejo who
won our annual float design contest
