L.D. Bell Band Road to Macy's

In May 2024 it was announced that the L.D. Bell High School Blue Raider Marching Band was selected to perform in the 2025 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade®, representing thestate of Texas. This will mark the first Parade appearance by the band. The Blue Raiders will join the iconic holiday march to the call of "Let’s Have a Parade™," the iconic phrase that has signaled the start of every Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade since 1924.

Each year, the Macy’s Parade Band Committee looks for bands that have the stage presence, musical and marching abilities to captivate millions of live spectators and viewers nationwide. L.D. Bell’s Blue Raider Marching Band was selected from more than 100 applicants as one of ten selected bands to march in the 99th edition of the annual holiday spectacle. The band will join the revelry along with other iconic Macy’s staples: floats, giant character balloons, clowns and superstar performers galore on Thanksgiving Day 2025, helping to create an unforgettable experience for millions.
