Michael Hunter, who is a sophomore at our school is going to be playing the marching snare drum at the Macy’s parade. Michael has played in the percussion section for four years and is excited, but yet nervous at the same time to be marching in the upcoming parade.
Allison Neal, has been dedicated to the trombone since fourth grade, and is now a senior. Ally isn’t that worried about the parade, but is really excited. “I am excited to have the opportunity again because when I was a freshman, my sister had the opportunity to go to California and we were the only people from Maine to go,” says Ally.
