WHITELAND, Ind. – For the fourth time, the Whiteland Community High School (WCHS) Marching Warriors Band has been asked to be a part of the 102-year-old Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade again this year.
However, the 2022 appearance will be different than past years. “We have been selected as the featured marching band drill performance,” says band Director Pete Sampson. “We will be doing our performance along the parade route, but will also be the only band this year that gets to play a small featured production just for the television cameras and nationwide home audience.”
The parade will be broadcast live on HULU. The 100-member band will perform all-new music.
Around 150 people associated with the band will be making the trip which will include sightseeing in New York City after the parade.
The WCHS Marching Warriors are currently rehearsing for the program two days a week after school.
