My niece (and her high school band) are in the Macy's parade

Franklin Regional H.S. in Murrysville PA. My niece plays the big drum. Couldn't figure out which one she was, but I'm sure she is having a great time :-).

6. The rest of her family will be here for dinner today

and bring the video, but it lasted a whole 30 seconds or so.

4. That's terrific!

I wish they'd show more of that kinds of performances, rather than extended numbers by Boys Like Girls and all the rest.

Congratulations to her and her band!

7. I can't wait to hear about the trip. It will be a long drive home

for them, but I'm sure they are psyched :-).

8. We saw them!

We watched specifically to see Franklin Reg. They looked terrific!

We used to live in Murrysville a long time ago. :hi:

:hi: My brother recorded the whole parade and brought it up here so we got to relive the 30 seconds over again. They did a nice job.
