104th Meets 98th 🥁 || MACY’S THANKSGIVING PARADE 🦃 / Carolina AT Clemson 🐅 • Double Beat 2024 #15

Welcome to the fifteenth episode of Double Beat 2024! It’s finally here. After 15 months of buildup, preparations, and fundraising—and much, much more work behind the scenes over the last several years—the Carolina Band is Marching to NYC for the 98th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! We’ve got a jam-packed week full of performances on the TODAY show and a pep rally at piers 16 and 17 with the University of Massachusetts Minutemen Marching Band, culminating with the parade and the performance on the famous Herald Square! Shoutout to all the Gamecocks that made the trip to NYC, shoutout to all of the people who donated to send the band to NYC, and shoutout to all of the people associated with the band that made this trip possible; everyone played their part to make this happen—whether it was the current members, the band alumni, the band staff, or the extended band family. No rest for the weary, however! It’s also Palmetto Bowl Week as the 15th-ranked Gamecocks travel to the upstate for the rivalry matchup against the 12th-ranked Tigers of Clemson as South Carolina attempts to bring the trophy back home where it belongs and bolster up its college football playoff résumé one final time before Selection Sunday in a little over a week in what’s potentially the biggest Carolina-Clemson football game out of the 121 games played between these two bitter rivals.
