Awesome! Must point out the most oft repeated wrong title in America, is the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade, I'd guess over 90% of the people call it the Thanksgiving Macys Day Parade as you did. My family and friends look at me when I correct them and then call me "Macys Day Richard"

They'll perform in next year's parade, not this year, so the seniors in band will miss out unfortunately.

Then again, "Macy's"...

The high school in which I teach at also got chosen to perform at 2026 Macy's Day Parade. They announced it this morning to all band members.

That is very cool. Really happy for the kids and the band program. UConn excels at literally everything else, so why not music too?!!
