The University of Massachusetts Amherst’s marching band has been selected to perform in the 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. This will be the Minuteman Marching Band’s second time performing in the parade.
UMass Amherst Chancellor Javier Reyes poses with members of the Minutemen Marching Band. The band will be performing in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2024.
The group was selected as one of ten bands that will be performing at the parade from a pool of over one hundred applicants from colleges and high schools across the country. The selection coincides with the 150th anniversary of the band’s founding this year. The announcement also coincided with Band Day, a day where high school bands from across Massachusetts are invited to UMass to experience a halftime performance by the Minuteman Marching Band.
Fundraising is still in the works to cover travel and lodging expenses for the trip to New York City, but a $10,000 check from Macy’s will give the band a head start on covering costs. The check was presented to the band by Jim Maher, manager of the Macy’s location in Holyoke.
