The East Tennessee State University Marching Bucs have selected to perform in the 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade®, representing the state of Tennessee.
This will mark the first Parade appearance by the band. The ETSU Marching Bucs will join the Parade to the call of “Let’s Have a Parade,” the iconic phrase that has signaled the start of every Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade since 1924.
Each year, the Macy’s Parade Band Committee looks for bands that have the stage presence, musical and marching abilities to captivate millions of live spectators and viewers nationwide.
The ETSU Marching Bucs were selected from more than 100 applicants as one of ten selected bands to march in the 98th edition of the annual holiday spectacle.
The band will join the revelry along with other iconic Macy’s staples: floats, giant character balloons, clowns and superstar performers galore on Thanksgiving Day 2024, helping to create an unforgettable experience for millions.
