Metcalfe County High School student in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

METCALFE CO., Ky.-You might have seen a familiar face on your screen during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade…

Metcalfe County High School student Aidan Grindle was playing with the Macy’s Great American Marching Band in the Big Apple. 

He has had his eyes on the parade since 2018. He got the call in February, after interviewing and sending videos of him marching and playing music. 

The band was made up of members from Hawaii, Wyoming, Oregon and more. 

“From all over the country, different styles of marching, and playing, and like I said it was just a crazy experience. The thrill of being in New York City and playing with musicians from everywhere,” said Grindle.

The Macy’s Great American Marching Band has been a part of the parade for 16 years.
