Before they can show off for the world how many are back there . They have to get check. Everything has been opened and closed five times. After practicing for months, mornings, nights and weekends weve put hours into this, so i think now its kind of like, hey, weve done be this before, hours upon hours, i think we can to it again. The moment when theyll march 2 1 2 miles in front of 3 million people, and then stop at 10 08 a. M. To do three songs its going to be like going in slow motion yet fast forward in the same time, youre going to be standing there like, wow, im here, but its all going to be over so quick. Theyre one of eight bands selected out of a contest of 250 to get the coveted spot in the macys thanksgiving day parade. When you put yourself on national television, you are stepping way out of your usual comfort zone, and it hopefully, in the future, that prepares them for the workplace and teaches them that they can but this hardly feels like an obstacle. I want them to see a fantastic band, i want them to be entertained, i want to create an emotion in someone else, i want to make a connection with my audience. With all 2016 has brought to america, their set of three songs has a theme. We do here comes the sun, you are my sunshine and you are the sunshine of my life. A little sunshine and good cheer for the world all the way from little lithia. World just needs a little bit of warmth. A lot of warmth. Thats right. We need a lot of warmth, dont we . you know, its so cool the way theyre getting up there. The truck is actually going to be sent ahead, a couple of parents are driving it, theyre leaving very early in the morning, and then the kids are going to be getting on a bus, theyre going to be going to orlando, flying from there on monday morning, and then theyll meet all their stuff in new york, theyre going to be staying in times square. Im from new york. Its going to be a great trip. We wish them all the best, safe travels, you talk about a trip of a lifetime for them. Wonderful experience. I love that story. Well be watching them for sure on thanksgiving day. I remember a couple of years ago, it was just freezing up there, but paul, how are they looking next week . Were in good shape. Its all across the board. Some years are warm, some have been windy, some of the floats have been blowing away before. I think it will be okay. Northeast. Cold weather heading our way on the heels of a cold front. Beautiful day today was accented by a great subset tonight. Sunset. This is from siesta key and fred seeger. Nicely done, fred. Late day action from karen lynn blackford. Beautiful sky, few clouds cutting across the sky late today and changes are on the way. Another one of these days, when the record high for the date occurred last year, so this year, its been warm but nothing at all like it was in 2015, almost every day it was running 5 to 8 degrees above the average, today we hit 81. Morning low at 60, the winds will be turning around, and i know a lot of you think about boating over the weekend. Probably okay tomorrow morning, but as the cold front approaches later in the day, the winds will pick up from the west and southwest then shift behind the cold front. You can see the cold front. Its marked by a ribbon of gray thats moisture that will whip across the state. We may a 10 chance of a shower, then the front goes by and the winds will shift, and by sunday, you will know that a cold front has gone by. Take a look at the temperature setup in the southeast. Tampa 67, tallahassee 53, birmingham is 67, then behind the front, little rock 49, wichita 39. Check out the 24hour temperature change. Compared to 10 00 last night. Nothing of note east of the front, but west of the front, youre talking a 12 degree temperature drop, 22, minus 22 in dallas of 29 degree temperature drop in wichita, so that change is certainly heading our way. Right now its nice, youve got 50s and low 60s away from the water, youve got mid 60s around tampa bay. The weekend outlook, sunshine tomorrow, winds will come in off the gulf, it will become windy during the day. Well subtract 10 on sunday, 68, noticeably cooler, and i would not be surprised if on monday morning, some of our Northern Counties are like 38 to 43, so certainly the coldest weather so far this season. 67 dew. 58, winds are light, northnortheast at 5. High pressure has been a constant feature in the southeast for the past several weeks. It will move away as the cold front dives to the south and behind the front, you the front goes by, High Pressure builds in, and we start another stretch of very dry conditions. No rain in the forecast between now and probably at least the first couple of days of december, november will end up officially probably 1 100th of an inch of rain at tia. 38 in kansas city, 41 chicago, 61 columbus, 50 in columbia, south carolina. Behind it, the winds do shift, lets watch it. So the front now will dive to the south, well see a period of clouds in the afternoon, early on sunday the front is long gone, down by miami. Notice the wind arrows, so gusty winds sunday morning, then High Pressure builds in, it will feel like a winter day, at least a winter day for us with highs on sunday in the 60s, then guess what . The High Pressure moves away, the air mass modifies and by the middle of next week, were back up so tonight, down to 63, sunshine tomorrow, wind picks up during the day, 78. Big satellite launch on the cape tomorrow at 5 42, its that new Weather Satellite going up in space, changer game changer for weather coverage, that happens at 5 42, you should be able to see it in the eastern sky. Then on sunday, its noticeably cooler, sunshine and breezy and 68. After that, we stay dry, thanksgiving looks good, highs stuff. Back to you. Ready for it. All right. Thank you, paul. Up next, filling critical cabinet positions. The three names trump added to his Administration Today and z24zxz z12fz with the transition to the donald Trump Presidency well underway, tomorrow may bring one of the biggest surprises the president elect is set to meet with mitt romney and sources say theyre going to talk about romney serving at secretary of state. Romney of course was one of trumps the republican primary. This is certainly raising a few eyebrows, less of a surprise, the three maims addedd today. Mark, three men who were very loyal to trump during the entire election process will fill three highly important cabinet positions. Mike pompeo will lead the cia, Michael Flynn will serve as National Security az visor and attorney general, le strictly enforce the immigration laws. He was one of the toughest critics of the Immigration Reform bill. He does come with some baggage, though. In 1986, the Senate Judiciary committee rejected his nomination to ab District Court judge after he was accused of referring to kkk members after, quote, okay. The next democratic leader says that at his confirmation hearing. Hes going to need a very thorough vetting. Many of those statements are old but theyre still troubling. The idea that jeff sessions, just because hes a senator, he should get through without a sear oof of very tough questions particularly those early things, no way. Mitch mcconnell says he strongly supports sessions nomination, calling him principled, forthright and hard working. Now all eyes are on a private where president elect will sit down with mitt romney. A meeting that would have seemed pretty far fetched a few months ago when romney was saying things like trumps promises are as worthless as a degree from trump university. Interesting to see what happens. Thank you so much, chris. Coming up next, calling it unconscionable and even illegal. A florida senator is lashing out at the states dmv. And after the break, our state is profiting from your personal information. And the action senator bill nels dunkins sweet black pepper bacon sandwich is back with twice the crispy, caramelized peppered bacon. Experience a breakfast sandwich made for bacon lovers.

Be near. Be far. Be joyful. Be together. Celebrate joy with dunkins holidayflavored coffees, espressos, and donuts. America runs on dunkin. If you have a florida drivers license, the state may be selling you out. A fox 13 investigation revealed the personal information from your dmv records is up for sale whether you like it or not. A powerful u. S. Senator saw our investigation and now he wants a federal investigation. Into whether the state is really breaking the law. Tina jensen has some new five months. Federal law requires states to protect your dmv records, not sell them. But our fox 13 investigation found the state made 150 millioned over the last two years, selling driving records to companies without really vetting them or knowing how the companies would use those records. Senator bill nelson pointed to the evidence we dug up as he called for the u. S. Department of justice to investigate. The fact that the state of florida would be selling drivers license, personal identification information to marketers, is not only unconscionable, but it may well be that it is illegal under a federal law that was passed in 1994. Today he sent a letter to u. S. Attorney general Loretta Lynch saying in the age of identity theft, its unconscionable for the state to sell personal information on the rhodes for a response, but all w
