In East Brunswick, they’ll be keeping an eye out for township residents Weston Ganz, 17, Ryan Fleer, 17, and Gabriella Green, 14, all of whom will be in the Stagedoor show.

“I always wanted to be in the parade,” said Green, who attends Churchill Junior High School. “When I was a little kid, I said, ‘Mom, I want to be in the parade,’ and she said some day we’ll be there. It’s so exciting to finally be able to do it.”

Ganz, a senior at East Brunswick High School, is beginning to become aware that there aren’t too many stages bigger than the Macy’s Parade.
