The West Johnston Band was 1 of only 5 high school bands from throughout the United States that performed in the 2008 Macy's Parade and was the first band in the history of Johnston County to receive this prestigious honor. Currently ranked 15th in the nation, our students have earned the privilege of representing our state, county, and school system at the 2005 Presidential Inaugural Parade, the Main Street America Parade at Walt Disney World, and now at the 2008 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade as well. They demonstrate commitment, hard work and dedication to excellence not only in school, performance, and rehearsal, but also in life each day. They are shining examples of all that is good in our nation's youth.

Thank you to our Mile Marker Sponsors!
Words can not express the emotions we all share about our incredible week in New York. Without all of our sponsors, Macy's would not have happened for our students. They were a part of something very magical that will remain in our kids hearts and minds forever. This once-in-a-lifetime experience will live on through them for years to come.
