Scott Kikkers, director of the Marching Royal Dukes, announced the selection to the band after the Villanova game on Sept. 29. The MRDs will be one of about 10 bands chosen in the country, he said. Bands have to submit their applic.it s in months before the parade and include videos of the band's performances and recent recordings and pictures of the band in full uniform to see how they will look on TV. Rikkers submitted the MRDs' application with a video of their performance at the Parade of Champions, a competition hosted at JMU. Rikkers explained that letters of recommendation were sent from school officials and other supporters of the MRDs, including Lt Gov. Bill BoHing. "Once submitted, there is a selection committee in place just for selecting bands to perform and coordinate the performing acts of the parade each year," Rikkers said. "The committee docs have a policy on performance eligibility. If you haven't performed at Macy's before you have to wait five years after your first performance to be considered again. After that, you can perform every three years."
