Rascal Flatts lead singer Gary LeVox and American Idol alum Danny Gokey (a member of Oasis Church) will both offer a song or two as part of the church’s Christmas shows. Some members of the Nashville Symphony will be playing as well.

Wisconsin’s Danny Gokey, who took third place in the 2009 season of American Idol, will be appearing in the Christmas parade in downtown Waukesha, which starts at 4 p.m.

Gokey’s appearance is sponsored by Wisconsin Vision, according to a news release from the Waukesha Business Improvement District.

The 49th Annual Waukesha Christmas Parade themed Canes on Main will take place on Sunday, Nov. 20 at 4 p.m. Brought to you by the Blood Center of Wisconsin, this time honored Waukesha tradition organized by the Waukesha Business Improvement District will showcase annual parade favorites, such as Santa and Mrs. Klaus, as well as a variety of new units.

Waukesha BID Executive Director Meghan Sprager shares, “The Christmas Parade marks the start of the holiday season for many people. Our agency is proud to organize an event that has so much meaning for individuals and families in our community.”

With support from Wisconsin Vision, American Idol season eight contestant Danny Gokey will participate in the parade. A Milwaukee native, Gokey is an inspiring and versatile performer known for his soulful style. Born the fifth of six children to a poor but loving family, his parents introduced him to a variety of music at a young age. This, coupled with his experience as a hard working truck driver and the loss of the person most dear to him, his wife, Sophia, has prepared him to entertain fans with poignant, rowdy, thought-provoking and smile-inducing country music with a flare.

The T-shirt – nearly the size of a football field – measures approximately 170 feet wide and 262 feet long, weighs nearly three tons, and took six weeks to make. It is so large it will be used to create 12,000 shirts, which Gildan will donate to Keep the Music Playing (KTMP), a charity initiative that supports music education in Metro Nashville Public Schools.

“We’re excited to not only break the Guinness World Record but also, more importantly, to align with Keep the Music Playing through our donation. Music education is so important to today’s youth and we’re thrilled to support the cause,” says Randy Brown, vice president retail sales, Gildan.

Gildan produced the T-shirt fabric at their state-of-the-art textile facility, with yarn from spinning plants in North Carolina. Final construction took place in Utah over four weeks, using sewing machines on a large track that sewed the rolls of fabric into larger panels for assembly. The record-breaking shirt, which is the same proportions as a regular size, large shirt, was then set onto a flatbed trailer to make the 1,700 mile trip to Nashville.  It will be rolled out at Centennial Park beginning at 11:30 AM by more than 100 volunteers with a Guinness representative on hand to oversee the unveiling.

“Gildan will be attempting to break the World’s Largest T-Shirt record, which has been set and broken five times since the first attempt in 1991. The T-shirt will be measured from shoulder to hem vertically and armpit to armpit horizontally,” Guinness surveyor Morgan Wilber notes.

The unveiling, which will be coordinated by Energy X Productions, will serve as a kick-off to Musician’s Corner, a weekly outdoor concert series that will feature performances by Love & Theft and James Otto beginning at 3:00 PM. Gildan will be presented with the Guinness World Record certificate at the LP Field stage later that evening during the CMA Music Festival’s Nightly Concert at LP Field.
