N.E. Brigand Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) From the Macy's Parade website, this is how they list the participating "bands": NYPD Marching Band [NY] Macy's Great American Marching Band American Fork H.S. Marching Band [uT] Bahama All Stars Marching Band Baldwinsville H.S. Marching Band [NY] Center Grove H.S. Marching Band [iN] Foothill H.S. Marching Band [NV] Georgia State University Marching Band [GA] Madison Scouts - Corps of Brothers [WI] Paul Lawrence Dunbar H.S. Marching Band [KY] Western Carolina University Marching Band [NC] Winston Churchill H.S. Marching Band [TX] There is a little blurb for each group. The one for the Scouts reads: "They're always referred to as a 'corps' not a 'band'. This all-male group is a reunion ensemble made up of past & present members." It says that Western Carolina will be the largest ensemble performing. Is that true? Edited November 26, 2014 by N.E. Brigand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) The Daave is correct. There is a flag code violation as pictured on Youtube. What is not included is when the corps turns to our right facing the TV cameras that day head on, thus making the US colors the first in the file (which is correct.) Solution of what Daave cites is to pinwheel the AF squad so that AF is on far right. But Macy's TV producers are infamous for their disregard of flag code to accomodate the TV limitations of time and space.

It's not just TV producers. I have sat at LOS every year since 2009 and sadly watched many such violations at retreat. I miss Cozy. RIP As I recall, he always seemed to have someone's ear about ensuring it was addressed and done right. Or he'd just go to the field himself. Not unlike the Drum Major of the Troopers that one evening in 2007. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 For those who do not have a TV, like our Son in CA, you might catch the parade online. http://social.macys.com/parade/?cm_mmc=VanityUrl-_-parade-_-n-_-n#/home (Hope there's no gremlins in our DVD while away for turkey day!)

chaos001 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 There are a few posts trending on social media now saying that Ferguson protestors are mobilizing to shut down the parade. Wonder if that'll happen or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFZFAN Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 At least Flam Man finally gets his spats for the parade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
