PASADENA, California -- SeaWorld’s “Sea of Surprises” float won the prestigious
President’s Award at the 125th annual Rose Parade on
New Year’s Day. This award is presented to the float with the “Most
Effective Floral Use and Presentation.”
The 55-foot-long float was a festive tribute to SeaWorld’s 50th
celebration kicking off this year, and featured some of the park’s most
popular animals. Hundreds
of thousands of flowers and natural materials made up the colorful
reefs, waves, coral and sea life displayed on the float. SeaWorld San
Diego employees donated time to work alongside float builders and help
apply live flowers.
An
inspiring new song debuted on the float - SeaWorld’s new theme song
“Beneath the Blue.” This song will be heard during special occasions
and as part of park background
music in the coming year.
Members
of SeaWorld’s Animal Care teams proudly rode the float, including
national Animal Ambassador Julie Scardina, and two team members from
Orlando
– Pedro Ramos-Navarrete and Jon Peterson – who will be involved in Orlando’s newest event, Wild Days, starting Jan. 11.
