LeanderMomma Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Be sure and watch the Thanksgiving parade today and look for Keller! I included the Rose Parade in this thread because it’s right around the corner and I want to know which bands to watch for. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

LeanderMomma Posted November 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Got this off the star telegram news site... At the end of the route, the band will be at Herald Square in front of the Macy’s Department Store, where it will perform for an international television audience on NBC between 10:38 and 10:48 a.m. CST.

Nny14 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I've seen a couple of FB posts with them in NYC the last couple of days. Looks like just their directors are there to scout the parade out. The band will be there next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostChoirGuy Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I'm so excited for Keller to go! Some of the other notable groups performing today are Park Vista from Florida, Lafayette from Louisiana, and The Ohio State University.

CTJBandPops Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Ronald Reagan is in the Macy's parade today, too. 2019 - not today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTJBandPops Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I've seen a couple of FB posts with them in NYC the last couple of days. for both Macy's and the Rose parade - the directors will go the prior year to see what to expect and how the logistics work - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanderMomma Posted November 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Tuning is always terrible in cold weather. These poor kids must be freezing! It’s so hard to sound good in weather that cold. It’s 27 degrees! Those poor kids from Park Vista in Florida! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephbandfan Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 It’s so hard to sound good in weather that cold. It’s 27 degrees! Those poor kids from Park Vista in Florida! But with the winds it felt at least 10 degrees lower. I could not feel my fingers and I believe it was their coldest thanksgiving in a long time. This week was an unforgettable and incredible experience and I hope to come back to New York again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvonDad Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Was watching for Keller and missed them. Maybe something will show up on that video page soon and can see them there. Love Rutter's Gloria and was looking forward to it. LeanderMomma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHSbandDad Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I saw Keller and thought they did great!! Nice job to the parents/chaperones who apparently scooped up all the jackets and scarves just prior to their feature. I am sure that required some coordination!!

Bandwoww Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Coldest Thanksgiving in NY in over 100 years! And coldest Macy’s parade on record! Feel bad for the Texas kids but they toughed it out. LeanderMomma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Keller sounded great, much better than the other band I saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
