The Tyrone Area High School Marching Band was honored to have been selected to participate in the Macy\u2019s \u201cCelebrate the Season\u201d Holiday Parade in Pittsburgh on Saturday, November 25.
\nThe students and chaperones boarded a chartered bus at 3:45 a.m. with pillows in hand. They were all extremely tired because of the Tyrone football game on Friday night and not getting back to the school until 11 p.m.; however, their tiredness did not dampen their enthusiasm. Upon arrival at the Mellon Arena, the band was all ready to march the 2.5 mile parade route throughout downtown Pittsburgh. The parade was sponsored by Macy\u2019s and Pittsburgh television station WPXI, Channel 11, who broadcasted the parade live. The streets of Pittsburgh were filled with appreciative people. They graciously applauded as the band marched, and played holiday music, down the parade route. You could see the smiles on the faces of those waiting for several hours to watch the parade, which included several people from the Tyrone area.
\nMany people in the Pittsburgh area asked where our band was from. When told that we were approximately 120 miles from home there were comments like, \u201cYour community should be so proud of your band for traveling so far to participate in this parade,\u201d and \u201cWe\u2019re so pleased. You represent your community so proudly.\u201d
\nThe Tyrone Marching Band and Band Boosters would like to thank all of those that showed general community support, whether it be through monetary donations, traveling to Pittsburgh to watch the parade from the streets or just by saying kind words about the band\u2019s appearance.
\nA special \u201cthank you\u201d to Chicago Rivet, Ken Chertow\u2019s Gold Medal Wrestling Camp, Dr. & Mrs. Devlin, Jodi Wallace, the Tyrone Area School District Board of Directors, the Tyrone School District faculty and staff and the Tyrone Football Boosters. Again, many thanks to all of the Tyrone community for your support of the Marching Band program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
