Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Imagine your school marching band stepping off onto the iconic streets of New York City, the roar of the crowd echoing through the skyscrapers as you become part of a beloved American tradition: the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! This is no ordinary music trip; it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for your student group travel, a chance to perform on a national stage and experience the magic of the holiday season in the heart of the Big Apple.

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, tied as the second-oldest parade in the United States, is a spectacle that captivates millions each year. For your students to be a part of this iconic event is a major accomplishment, a testament to their dedication and talent. As they march down the parade route, surrounded by larger-than-life floats, beloved characters, and the energy of a city celebrating, they'll create memories that will last a lifetime.

Securing a spot in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is a competitive process, requiring careful planning and a compelling application. Band directors need to apply years in advance and submit an application video to the Macy's Band Selection Committee. But the reward is well worth the effort! Imagine the pride your students will feel as they see themselves performing on national television, their music bringing joy to families across the country.

This student group travel experience offers much more than just the parade.
