The parade is the famous department store&#8217;s annual gift to children everywhere! Held in Manhattan, on Thanksgiving morning, this is one of America\u2019s premier parade events and one of the world\u2019s largest. Tied for second place on the list of USA Parades, famous for much-loved giant balloons, plenty of celebrities, marching bands, dancers, cheerleaders, American heroes, live performances and more, the Macy&#8217;s Parade follows a 2.65-mile route past over three million cheering adults and children. Fifty million television viewers around the world watch it live for over three hours every Thanksgiving day. Starting at Central Park West on New York&#8217;s upper west side and powered by hundreds of Macy&#8217;s employees dressed as clowns and characters, the parade finishes with a flourish at Macy&#8217;s flagship store on 34th Street.\u00a0 Santa Claus\u2019s arrival there kicks off the Christmas season!<\/p>\n<p>Tying the parade altogether, with great skill, music, and enthusiasm, are twelve carefully selected marching bands. Being a part of this great parade is an honor and a tribute to a band&#8217;s and band director\u2019s hard work and reputations. Directors must submit their application to the Macy&#8217;s Band Selection Committee no later than March first of the current year, to be considered for a slot in the parade in the following year. Applicants are notified in writing by the Committee within 90 days after March first. The most persuasive part of a band\u2019s application is its high quality, full video footage from a half-time show or competitive field show event. The Committee wants to understand your band\u2019s level and range of musical experience, versatility, and showmanship.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Here&#8217;s a quick look at Macy&#8217;s parade bands and New York attractions!<\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }<\/style>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VD0QZEkXQmk?enablejsapi=1&amp;html5=1&amp;hd=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;controls=1&amp;showinfo=0;rel=0;&quot;\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<blockquote class=\"blockquote-primary\"><p>&#8220;For over 90 years, the Macy\u2019s Parade has hosted the finest marching bands and drum corps from around the world each and every Thanksgiving morning.
