Okay, I don't want to create a redundant thread, but I noticed that no one posted any frequencies for the 2010 Rose Parade. All I can find in a search of the RR database is info for the 2009 parade:

So, does anyone anticipate any new frequencies that may be used either by Pasadena PD, LASO or CHP for the 2011 Rose Parade?
I've been listening to LASO parade ops for years from my nest in Northern Orange County. I generally can hear "GOLD" and "BROWN" units as they try to keep the peace along Colorado Boulevard on New Year's Eve.
I used to work for a company based here in L.A. that every year had a float in the parade (still does). I remember one year watching the parade on my TV with the mute on, while simultaneously listening to LASO on my scanner. That year, my company's float was horse-drawn and, when the horses got spooked and bolted toward the crowd, I remember the commotion over the Sheriff's frequencies.
For some reason, I've never been able to pick up the CHP units helping with crowd control, etc. I guess I've been too far away (plus, using a handheld scanner with a rubber duck doesn't help). But I've always been able to listen to LASO with no trouble.
So, any new frequencies I should be monitoring this New Year's Eve/New Year's Day?
