Is your birthday coming up? Well, you're in for a treat! Here’s oboist Katie Oprea playing a little bit of “happy birthday."😍

An oboe is a member of the woodwind family, meaning it’s a wind instrument that you play by blowing into it, and the instrument itself is made out of wood. An oboe’s reed is made by taking two pieces of cane and tying them together onto a tube. Many professional oboists, like Katie, make their own reeds! 🎶👀

Brattleboro, VT resident Terry Sylvester worked as a float builder, painter and “balloon doctor”🎈for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in the ‘70s and early ‘80s. The Macy’s Studio at the time was in Hoboken, NJ, an old Tootsie Roll factory! 🍬

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has been going since 1924. This year marks its 99th parade (it took three years off during World War II).
