Be a Macy’s Star!

We are asking the community members to send their band to the 2008 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade by donating as little as $1.00 to put their name on a Macy’s Star. Our goal is to have all the walls of the West band room and hallways covered in Stars - with each Star representing a person who supports the efforts of 192 outstanding band students! The band students will be bringing all the STARS with them on the buses,
from NC to NYC!
