Flower Mound High School band chose for Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Band students at Flower Mound High School were surprised Tuesday with the chance of a lifetime. They will be one of just 10 bands to perform in the 2024 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
FLOWER MOUND, Texas - The Flower Mound High School band will perform at the 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The Lewisville ISD school is one of 10 chosen from a list of 100.
"The Flower Mound High School Marching Band consistently delivers dynamic and intricate performances with bold design and storytelling as one of the most well-rounded band programs in America," said Wesley Whatley, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade creative producer. "Their musicianship sets this band high above the rest and the Macy’s Band Selection Committee is proud to welcome the Flower Mound High School Marching Band for their debut in the 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!"
This will be the band’s first parade performance. But since it’s scheduled for next year, the students have some time to practice and raise money to cover travel expenses.
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade selection committee gave the band $10,000 to help with its fundraising efforts.
