Growing up, my family and I religiously woke up early every Thanksgiving morning to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
As kids, we ooh-ed and ahh-ed as our favourite stars (usually Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys...really now, not much has changed) were on the floats coming down 5th Avenue in New York City. I especially loved watching the university drill teams with the cheerleaders/dance squads perform in front of Macy's at the end of the Parade. As a little girl, I dreamed that might be me when I got to college.
However, the people I was always most excited to see perform were the Rockettes.
