A selection committee of top-tier music educators made recommendations about which bands to invite. Thousands of featured performers from around the world will march past such landmarks as Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster.
The parade’s website says it attracts twice as many spectators as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade in New York.
