Damien High tapped to perform at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
The Damien High marching band was selected from a nationwide group of applicants to participate in the 2025 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The band was notified during a special event at the school on May 20.
Damien, an all-boys Catholic school in La Verne, was one of nine high schools chosen and the only one from California, said Damien Band Director Jaime Magallón.
“I think it’s going to be a great opportunity for them to showcase their talents on a national stage and such a historical event,” he said.
At the school announcement, a representative from the Macy’s Parade Band Committee presented a $10,000 check to help kick off the marching band’s fundraising.
