- Students from Samz School designed and decorated their own float complete with an 8 Ft. Guitar and a laser light show. This event was featured November 30th, 2009 in the Californian Newspaper saying,
 
“While some floats just carried participants waving at the crowd, one group used theirs as a rock stage.  Twelve students from Samz School of Rock stood and played their instruments on their 24-foot long float, decorated with a Christmas tree and outfitted with a sound system good enough for any concert.  I wanted them to play holiday songs, but of course they wanted to play ‘Crazy Train’ and other rock and roll songs,” Sam Martinez, the school’s founder, said with a laugh.
