Next Thursday morning, millions of Americans will switch on their TVs to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. It's the 83rd year of the holiday ritual, and if you look carefully amidst the Broadway singers, clowns and massive Snoopy and Spider Man balloons, you'll spot a marching band from Pittsburg High School in Contra Costa County. It was a real coup for the band -- they're one of just five high schools performing in this year's parade. Reporter: Scott Shafer
