HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - Three students from Winfield High School are in New York City preparing for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Maybre Massey, Erin Walls, and Brandon French auditioned and got picked to be part of the Macy’s Great American Marching Band.

WSAZ caught up with Maybre and Erin on their lunch break. Brandon was still rehearsing.

These band students from Winfield High School have joined students from all across the country this week to prepare for a special parade performance.

The girls say it’s a lot of practice, but it’s also a lot of fun.

The students say their performance is between 9:29 a.m. and 9:59 a.m.

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade coverage begins at 8:30 a.m. Thursday morning on WSAZ.
