Bobcats on Broadway

Donation protected
Abigayle Davis, Dylan Herrig, and Patrick Powers of the Brookings High School marching band have been accepted to participate in the Macys' All-American marching band, leading playing in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. 

Abigayle, Dylan, and Patrick will join with 250 others from all across the United States and lead the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade down Broadway in front of 3 million spectators along the parade route and 50 million on television.

No one from Brookings has been able to participate in the parade since the early 2000's.  The tour company had a small window open up for late applications to apply for this experience, and these three proud Bobcats are going to NYC!

Fees for uniforms, lodging, etc., are in excess of $1600 each, plus airfare and other incidental expenses, including the transport of their instruments. This is NOT an activity supported by band funds, so the three students must individually raise funds to participate, and have set a goal of $5000 for the three to participate, which will be applied equally.  They're pooling their resources and working hard to raise these funds before November 15th.

*ANY FUNDS RAISED OVER THE $5000 goal will be turned directly back to the Brookings Bobcat Band Booster program*

This is not only an outstanding performance opportunity but also a very valuable educational experience for the students, since they will work with Dr. Richard Good, Director of Bands at Auburn University and his staff. They will also enjoy all of the special activities included for them during their week in New York.

Abigayle, Dylan, and Patrick will be working hard to represent one of South Dakota's best music programs as ambassadors in New York City for this once in a lifetime event.  

Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated and remembered for the Brookings High School music program that has provided them a tremendous opportunity in the arts.
