The Road to Macy's
The Road to Macy's 2025!
For over ninety years, the Lumberjack Marching Band has represented the pride, spirit, and traditions of Northern Arizona University. As musical ambassadors for NAU, the band serves students, alumni, and the community through exciting and dynamic performances. In 2025, the LMB will represent Arizona as an official performer in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City!

Each year, the Macy’s Parade Band Committee looks for bands that have the stage presence, musical and marching abilities to captivate millions of live spectators and viewers nationwide. The Lumberjack Marching Band was selected from more than 100 applicants as one of ten selected bands to march in the 99th edition of the annual holiday spectacle. The band will join the revelry along with other iconic Macy’s staples: floats, giant character balloons, clowns and superstar performers galore on Thanksgiving Day 2025, helping to create an unforgettable experience for millions.
