This Thanksgiving, the 100th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will hit the streets of New York City and Monmouth-Roseville High School alum Zayda Martin will once again be a part of the celebration:
“Every big celebration for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, specifically this year is the 100th anniversary for the parade, they always invite back alumni to march with the new members of the marching band to make a dedication to the past years of the Macy’s parade in this one big celebration. It is very inspiring to be a part of. You have many generations of marchers who have been in this,” Martin says.
“So, as long as you have marched in the Macy’s parade, you are eligible to be a part of the alumni band. You do have to register, RSVP, and of course pay for the trip as well. Rehearsals will start that Monday of Thanksgiving. We will have rehearsals daily to prepare for the performance on Thanksgiving,” Martin adds.
Martin first performed in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2021 as a high school senior, playing baritone in the Macy’s Great American Marching Band.
