2010 Macy 001

The Plymouth-Canton Educational Park Marching Band from Canton MI will bring the beat to the 2011 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade®!

Macy’s Parade officials lead by Wesley Whatley, Associate Creative Directory of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade® and head of the Parade’s Band selection committee made a special announcement inviting Michigan’s Plymouth-Canton Educational Park Marching Band to the 2011 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Macy’s Parade officials worked secretly with school district staff to surprise band director David Armbruster and members of the marching band with the news that they had been selected out of hundreds of nationwide applicants to be one of the 10 marching bands in the 2011 Parade. The news was delivered at a special surprise gathering arranged by school staff.
