Letter Of
Invitation
2008 will mark the 82nd Anniversary of the
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Our
organization takes great pride in our band
program, which for decades has been a
creative cornerstone of what has become
America's most famous parade. Macy's Parade
is legendary for its rigid standards and its
highly competitive selection process. Our
traditions are deeply
rooted, especially in the area of regional
diversity, but for two years ago for our 80th parade
anniversary, we broke the mold and took the
idea of regional representation to a whole
new level.
Under the
leadership of the distinguished Dr. Richard
Good of Auburn University and the very
gifted Dr. Jon Woods of Ohio State
University, and with the partnership
of MUSIC FESTIVALS, we created a whole new
kind of ensemble - an exciting Great American
Marching Band showcasing the most talented
high school student musicians from every state of the
union. The band revealed the parade at
the starting line and then led the parade
down Broadway to rave reviews. On behalf of Richard, Jon, the MUSIC
FESTIVALS staff, and everyone from Macy's
Band Committee, I invite you to participate
in this second annual "national band"
that will represent the best high school
students America has to
offer in the 2008 Macy's Thanksgiving Day
Parade.
Sincerely,
Robin Hall
Executive
Producer/Director of Macy's Thanksgiving Day
Parade
