SPRINGFIELD, Ga. — Effingham County residents can watch the Effingham County High School Rebel Regiment take the national stage Tuesday as the band leads the New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

The Rebel Regiment has been selected as the parade’s honor band, meaning the students will march at the very front of the procession and escort the grand marshal along Fifth Avenue.

The 265th New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade begins at 11 a.m. Tuesday, March 17, and can be streamed online:

The live broadcast is also available through the NBC 4 New York streaming channel, which can be accessed via Peacock, Roku TV, Fire TV, Samsung TV Plus, Xumo Play, Local Now, Pluto TV, Google TV, TCL, Xfinity and Amazon Prime Video. Additional streaming platforms include Roku, Samsung TV Plus, Xumo, PlayCozi, and YouTube.

The parade broadcast will be hosted by:

  • Gus Rosendale, Emmy- and Murrow-award-winning journalist and co-anchor of "Weekend Today" in New York.
  • Rana Novini, NBC 4 New York weekend anchor, highlighting participants and parade landmarks.
  • Tommy Smyth, veteran sports announcer and longtime Irish community media personality.
  • Treasa Goodwin Smyth, co-host and experienced voice in Irish sports and community media.

For Effingham County, this year’s event is especially meaningful as the Rebel Regiment represents the community on one of the world’s most visible parade stages — a chance to show off their hard work and talent to a national audience.
