Sendoff for Majestic Marching Cardinals
Jonesboro High School's Majestic Marching Cardinal are on their way to New York City for the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and the community gathered on Sunday to see them off.
JONESBORO, Ga. - The Majestic Marching Cardinals of Jonesboro High School are officially on their way to the Big Apple to perform in the 98th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The community came out in full force Sunday to give the band a grand send-off. The celebration began with a ceremony inside the school, featuring performances and presentations honoring the band’s accomplishments.
But the excitement didn’t stop there—band members stepped outside to a thrilling surprise: a motorcade escorted by dozens of officers from various departments, along with three buses specially designed with the band’s name emblazoned on them.
The Majestic Marching Cardinals were the only band selected from Georgia this year, chosen from more than 100 applications nationwide.
