Band director Dr. Timmey Zachery told ABC13 that the Marching Storm's upcoming performance means a lot to the university.

"It's an incredible honor," Zachery said.

While in New York City, band members and staff will get an amazing experience.

"When I took the helm here, that was the number one thing that I wanted to bring to the students -- which is experience," Zachery said. "Through experiences, this is where the wealth of your life comes from."



The Macy's Thanksgiving Parade dates back to 1924.
