An O'Gorman High School understudy will show up in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade this year. 

Raeya Allen will join the Macy's Great American Marching Band shading monitor positions in the country's most famous yearly procession. The lesser just had days to get familiar with the movement subsequent to flying into New York City last week to plan to perform with more than 40 different artists from the nation over. 

"It's been super quick paced, however it's not difficult to get the everyday practice and get with it," she said. "It's nerve-wracking simply learning the standard yesterday and realizing I'll need to perform it two days after the fact. It's somewhat frightening, yet I've been getting it." 

This appearance is a very long time really taking shape, after Raeya enlisted in the shading monitor as a green bean and saw young people her age act in the motorcade in 2019. It's a custom in her family to watch the procession every year and the Christmas season doesn't begin until Santa Claus shows up toward the end.

Her mom, Julie, realized her girl could perform at such a level subsequent to seeing her little girl's advantage in the game develop. She scanned online how Raeya could try out for the several years prior. 

Subsequent to making her own everyday practice and presenting a tryout video to coordinators, Raeya joined the 2021 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade shading monitor group. 

"I generally needed to be in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It was on my list of must-dos," Raeya said. "At the point when I saw it on TV and saw the walking band and shading monitor, I wanted.'" 

The current year's presentation is close by other high schoolers the nation over just as graduated class shading monitor entertainers, since this is the 95th commemoration of the procession. Raeya said she's eager to address South Dakota in such a limit and meet individuals from different states. 

The one disadvantage is she'll must be alert with hair and make up ready by 1:15 a.M. On Thanksgiving Day for the exhibition, she added. 

The 17-year-old has been in the shading monitor since she was a rookie at O'Gorman, joining the group to be among companions, however without playing an instrument in the walking band. She's been in dance for around 14 years. 

While the family has been hanging out in New York an extended get-away – visiting Times Square and a "Devilish" execution on Broadway – Raeya has a whole emotionally supportive network rooting for her in front of Thursday's presentation, Julie said. Around eight relatives are wanting to watch the motorcade face to face. 

After Thursday's procession, Raeya should surge back to Sioux Falls for the Dance Gallery's Nutcracker show, which she'll act in the end of the week subsequent to Thanksgiving.
