“This trip will have a major impact on the band's legacy. Being in the Macy's Day Parade will give the exposure the Blue and Gold Marching Machine deserves. Hopefully after this performance, this will open up more doors and give the band more opportunities to share our love and passion for our craft as well as show the world just how hard working and powerful this machine is.”
