Middletown Residents to March in Macy's Thanksgiving Parade
Locals are part of the UMass marching band

If you’re tuning into the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, keep a sharp eye—two Middletown residents will be among those marching.
University of Massachusetts Marching Band members Morgan McGrane and Julia Givens, both of Middletown, will be there, along with fellow Monmouth County resident Emily Gluck of Westfield, according to the school.
The marching band, which includes nearly 400 members and is the largest such group in the Northeast, is expected to appear on television at 11:24 a.m. to perform the school’s signature song, Big Noise from Winnetka.
