New Jersey. The immigrant employees of Newark's Bamberger's retail store wanted to celebrate their adopted American heritage with an Old World-style parade. They did such a good job (too good a job?) that by 1924 the parade was taken over by Macy's and by 1929 the Bamberger's chain itself was taken over by Macy's, too.

7 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT COMPETITION DAYS TEAM MOTTO: Do your best forget the rest GO BAND Uniforms need to be in tip-top shape. See attached sheet or go to: for details on uniform care. Extra gloves can always be purchased in the uniform room for $3 a pair. Competition days are long days for the kids please make sure they get plenty of sleep, have a healthy breakfast, and please pack some healthy snacks that will not stain their uniforms. Also, they may need food for dinner or cash for concessions. Make sure to think about the weather it gets chilly by the evening & kids will start to need some kind of under armor wear to keep them warm. You are not expected to go to the whole competition Arrive early...sometimes you have to park some distance from the field Pack for the weather...blankets, coats, etc. You will need to buy tickets at each location...generally between $5 and $7 per person. They will usually have a program available for an extra $2 - $5. Most locations will have concessions available, which benefit their boosters, so consider supporting them. You will notice that they usually will not allow people to enter / exit the stands during a performance. If you are approaching the field during a performance and notice a traffic jam of people, just be patient, as soon as the performance is over, they will open it up to enter / exit before the next band. It is a courtesy to the performers and their spectators. BE A GOOD SPORT No matter what you see...please refrain from any negative comments in the stands...you never know whose grandma is sitting right behind you. We have always prided ourselves on giving EACH TEAM a standing ovation following their performance. These kids ALL work hard and deserve our support & respect If you haven t had a chance, check out Marching Band 101 on our website: There is a lot of info about competition days, including information about how bands are judged GO#BAND#
