Abstract: This paper uses the theory of dual equivalence graphs to give explicit Schur expansions for several families of symmetric functions. We begin by giving a combinatorial definition of the modified Macdonald polynomials and modified Hall-Littlewood polynomials indexed by any diagram $deltasubsetmathbbZimesmathbbZ$, written as $widetilde{H}_{delta}(X;q,t)$ and $widetilde{H}_{delta}(X;0,t)$, respectively. We then give an explicit Schur expansion of $widetilde{H}_{delta}(X;0,t)$ as a sum over a subset of the Yamanouchi words, as opposed to the expansion using the charge statistic given in 1978 by Lascoux and Sch"{u}ztenberger. We further define the symmetric function $R_{gamma,delta}(X)$ as a refinement of $widetilde{H}_{delta}(X;0,t)$ and similarly describe its Schur expansion. We then analyze $R_{gamma,delta}(X)$ to determine the leading term of its Schur expansion. We also provide a conjecture towards the Schur expansion of $widetilde{H}_{delta}(X;q,t)$. To gain these results, we use a construction from the 2007 work of Sami Assaf to associate each Macdonald polynomial with a signed colored graph $mathcal{H}_{d}elta$. In the case where a subgraph of $mathcal{H}_{d}elta$ is a dual equivalence graph, we provide the Schur expansion of its associated symmetric function, yielding several corollaries.
