Lakota West Marching Firebirds
selected for
2013 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC

Congratulations to the Lakota West Marching Firebirds for their selection to the 2013 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, New York. The Firebirds were one of 11 bands selected from hundreds of schools nationwide. “Macy’s made the surprise announcement in the school’s gym Monday in front of a crowd of 600 students and staff. Spokesman Orlando Veras says, “Lakota West has one of the best overall music programs in the country. Their musical and marching ability along with the entertainment value they bring to all of their performances made them an excellent choice to represent their community and the state of Ohio in the 2013 Macy’s Parade.” (Weingartner, www.wvxu.org, 4/9/12)
