Colorado State University’s marching band helped brighten one of the region’s largest holiday traditions, the 9NEWS Parade of Lights.

The marching band, cheer squad, CAM the Ram and representatives from ASCSU were down in Denver Dec. 3 to take part in this annual tradition. The free holiday spectacular featured more than 40 units, including extravagantly illuminated floats, helium-filled character balloons, marching bands, traditional equestrian units and vibrant cultural displays.
