East Carolina University’s Marching Pirates have been selected from more than 100 applicants to make their debut in the 101st Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City in 2027, making them the first North Carolina marching band invited since 2019. The surprise announcement came during rehearsal, celebrating the band’s recent growth and renewed spirit under director Joe Busuito. Separately, ECU’s Homecoming brought students, alumni and families together in Greenville for a parade and tailgating before the Pirates’ game against Rice; light rain and an earlier kickoff did not diminish the festivities.
