The Macy’s Great American Marching Band is a marching band created uniquely for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Since its debut, the band has become a time-honored tradition that brings together the finest musicians from high schools nationwide, complimented by colorguard and dancers. The performers submit audition tapes prior to the Parade and are individually selected by members of Macy’s Branded Entertainment.
This year, the band is made up of 185 musicians and 40 color guard and dancers from across the country.

Support Our Cause
Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Wisconsinites and our future.
Since day one, our goal here at UpNorthNews has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Wisconsin families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
