The Salem High School Marching Band and Colorguard has been offered the exciting opportunity to march in the Annual Plymouth, MA Thanksgiving Parade this Saturday 11/23! This is a high-profile parade which brings in approximately 100,000 spectators each year. We are very proud of our students and staff who have earned this opportunity through their hard work and commitment to high expectations and excellence! ​

Information about the parade, including ​viewing/livestream details can be found at this website: https://usathanksgiving.com

Here is a youtube clip of our SHS students with their 'Wake Up Call' ​promoting the event!
