“It is an incredible honor to be selected to represent both the State of Alabama and the 香港六合彩挂牌资料 in the Macy’s 2025 Thanksgiving Day Parade,” said Dr. Lloyd Jones, Director of the Marching Pride of North Alabama. “This invitation is a remarkable opportunity for our students, and we are deeply grateful to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade for including us in such a storied American tradition.
