The Young Americans Show for Thanksgiving Day
On Thanksgiving Day, the lenses of NBC’s cameras will introduce 60 cast members from The Young Americans to over 50 million viewers, but behind it lies the inspiring story of the largest youth music advocacy organization in the world, says The Young Americans company.
The Young Americans, a Southern California based non-profit performing arts company, was handpicked by parade talent officials to perform this year at the 84th Annual Macy’s Parade.
Exact details of The Young Americans’ performance of, “Winter Wonderland” remain a secret until the big day but you can expect to see the bright red Macy’s star as background when 60, North Pole Penguins dance and sing their way into the Christmas Season ushering in the one and only Santa Claus, says the company.
