That's awesome. Would seem like a big deal.

Made the announcement at halftime. Macy's people, band people & Holloway on the field. I'm sitting next to a band mom, she said the kids are over the moon.

Thanks. I thought they might be going this year. But that's fantastic. will plan to go and see them.

 

[rurichdog]

I hope they put more effort into it than the ever-present crowd pleasing "Turn Up The Radio, and Other Rock Hits from 1984" show

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

Oh wow, that is awesome.

Can't you just be happy for them for a moment? Maybe start with "that's awesome " before criticizing & complaining?

Good point. I've said many times that marching bands aren't my cup of tea, but that doesn't mean I can't see how this is a huge deal for the band and RU and be happy for them. Great stuff.

its amazing that they never have been invited despite being a hop skip and a jump away

They have to apply to be considered. That's something they should apply for every year.

They are awful.

 

[G- RUnit]

They can be in the Macys parade but can’t play to the home fans?

 

[DJ Spanky]

We were in it in 1985.

WTF does that mean when 99% of the stadium is home fans? This complaint is always on here and hysterical. Old people...

Play to the home side of the stadium once a year? Not that difficult of a concept. Comprehension much?

The cameras are on the visitor (west) side which is why we moved to the other side (east) in the 90s.

Has anyone told Greg? Perhaps a little lap sit might help!

 

[DHajekRC84]

Santa Clause?

Spit out my drink.

 

[DHajekRC84]

See, I brought up the 1969 Rose Bowl invite and now this. Instincts baby. Instincts!

Stop. 75% of that 99% are old people. The rest are in the lot drinking.

At least acknowledge that it's great for the kids.

LMAO, we won. Grab a Snickers and relax. You're not you, when you're hungry

I resent your 1984 slight. 1985 was much worse.

 

[DJ Spanky]

Hey, at least they're not playing the Electric Slide!

 

[ScarletR97*]

We were in it in 1985.

No we were not, 2023 will be Rutgers first appearance. 1985 Parade Line UP

 

[DJ Spanky]

Well gee, not sure what I was doing in that parade then back in 1985.

Apologies, my mistake if I assumed you were referring to Rutgers.

 

[DJ Spanky]

I was referring to Rutgers, but let me clarify. Members of the Rutgers Marching Band were in the 1985 Macy's Day Parade, but as part of the Walt Disney World float.

 

[MGSA99]

They were in a mock parade in 1993 for the filming of the remake of Miracle On 34th Street.
