Re: How to join Macy's thanksgiving parade

Size doesn't matter....

Just to clarify... in 1998 there was a band that was referred to as
the "little band that could" Red Land High School had 84 winds and
perc and about 25 gaurd.  Very very small in comparison.  It all comes
down to the video and accomplishments and the director(how he or she
handles them self). The Macy's people, while not well versed in MB,
know what they like.  It is a crap shoot... put the app in though.. it
was a long, rainy, cold day... but it is something that the kids will
talk about forever.
