It seems to have become a tradition for a select group of West Branch students to be a part of the Macy’s Great American Marching Band in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. This year, two students have been selected to attend. Senior Dalton Kristofits on Sousaphone and Sophmore Noah Fry on Trumpet III. Noah is the first Sophmore ever from West Branch to attend the parade.
The interest in preforming in this parade first began after Jordan Andrews went in 2012 and inspired many more to attend the parade. Dalton is a returning member from last year, while Noah got his letter on April 5th, 2019. They will be leaving for New York on Saturday, November 23rd. Noah says he is looking forward to seeing New York for the first time and getting to march with people from across the country.
Good luck Noah and Dalton!
