CHS Senior Takes Part in The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

When students from Columbia High School watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade this year, they may notice a familiar face.

Lee Anderson, a senior at the school, will be making his third appearance in the parade this year as part of the Great American Marching Band.

Last year, he marched and played the Sousaphone in the Great American Marching Band that escorted Santa Claus into town. He'll be reprising that role this year. 

Normally, Lee plays trombone in the CHS Wind Ensemble, the CHS Marching Band and the New Jersey Youth Orchestra, and he plays tuba in the CHS Symphonic Band.

Lee and the 220 musicians in the Great American Marching Band are from all parts of the country and spent the five days leading up to Thanksgiving rehearsing and seeing the sights of New York City.
