 It is with great pleasure that I announce today that for the first time in this school's history, the University of Alabama has been selected to represent this school and perform in the 2020 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Because of the pandemic, there are major changes for this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The 2020 parade is going virtual. That means no high school or college marching bands walking the parade route. It was definitely hard, you know, when obviously we're here, we want to perform, we want to cheer on Alabama. We knew we had worked so hard to get there. We were chosen for a reason. We were really hoping, especially as a junior, going into my senior year to be a great senior year send-off. The senior class that was ahead of me, it was really unfortunate, you know, that their time was up. It was time for graduation. It was a super sad time in our program, but luckily we all have good attitudes, we're all optimistic. I wasn't worried too much. I'm sure our band will figure something out. We have good directors and it won't be long until it's re-announced that we'll get back in. There is breaking news really this noon. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is officially back. The 95th annual parade will kick off Thanksgiving morning. I'm just so excited to go to New York. Macy's been around for so long and to have the honor to be able to go. I mean, that's just like a dream come true. It's just going to be so crazy to be on live TV and participate in this huge parade that I've watched all my life and never would I have dreamed to be going to perform in Herald Square. I'm a senior, so it's really exciting that my last marching band season is going to get to be in New York. I feel like every marching band student dreams of going to New York and marching in Macy's. Getting to go to Macy's on my senior year, I mean, what better way to end it, right? I'm most excited about doing the actual parade and then being in the star in front of Macy's. So we're going to get to do a little show and there's a lot of surprises that I can't necessarily unveil, but there's a few things that people will be able to see, so look out for the million dollar band.
