They are among the top 185 musicians selected from across the nation to perform in the band.

Starr’s Mill Panther Pride Marching Band member Camber Bransky will be performing with the band for a second consecutive year, and fellow band members Zach Garcia and Kevin Allen will have their first experience playing in the band. This is the fourth straight year that Starr’s Mill has had musicians selected to the Macy’s Great American Marching Band.

Once again, this prestigious band will take an honor position among the gigantic helium balloons, impressive floats carrying celebrities, and the nation's top marching bands. Stepping-off from Central Park, the band will be cheered by the three million spectators lining the parade route. Arriving at Macy's Herald Square, the band will perform for celebrity hosts, a grandstand audience, and more than 50 million TV viewers watching the broadcast live on NBC.
