Madison in Macy's Parade


Recommended Posts

I have to wonder where the Front Ensemble,(Pit) players fit in on a formation like this, did they carry banners, play a tenor, practice on a battery instrument ? I am sure they are a part of the corps and marched. Fortunately they no longer have marching Tympani or Vibes.

I know for sure there was at least one front line member in each of the following sections: banner, honor guard, snare, multi tenor, and single tenor. These are just members I know of, I wasn't able to meet all 423. We did have a member marching glockenspiel who had marched '58 thru '61(you can see him in the rehearsal photos) but unfortunately he had an injury and couldn't march the parade.

Bass 1 in the alumni uni was in the front ensemble as well.
