Any other night they'd call it a dry run.
Tuesday night it was a wet and cold practice session outside of Macy's ahead of the big parade.

All 11 bands, 1,600 cheerleaders, and 8,000 performers will proudly march through the city at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The key here is for performers to know their marks, the cameras to be positioned and all to go as smoothly as possible.
The only variable they can't practice until perfect is the weather.
