Good morning RJ,

Guess who'll be marching down Central Avenue in Phoenix in this year's Fiesta Bowl Parade? The Maricopa High School marching band has been invited to perform in the parade for the second year in a row. Check out more details on where you can watch the parade.

In more somber news, a Casa Grande man has been sentenced to 27 years in prison for crimes against two children under the age of 15. The sentence was part of a plea agreement. The judge, however, was not buying the man's apology to the victims.

And Casa Grande police officers had to use a stun gun and a PepperBall device on a man who allegedly refused to drop a crowbar when ordered to do so.
