Working the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in the rain can’t be a great deal of fun. From the bands marching down the street to the balloon wranglers in ponchos, nobody has any choice but to just deal with it. Certainly not everybody can have their own umbrella sherpa to keep them dry, but then not everybody has won an EGOT.
