Thanks for sending an application for the Holiday Starlight Parade for December 14.  Below is the lineup for the parade next Saturday. Please find your name on the list, look at the number beside it and that is your place in the lineup. 

TIMES TO REPORT     If you are # 1 - # 26 report to the lineup area at 3:15 and find your spot on the street
               If you are # 27 - # 53 report to the lineup area at 4:00 and find your spot on the street
               If you are a marching band, report to the lineup area at 5:00 and find your spot on the street
               
IF YOU DO NOT GET IN LINE IN TIME, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL BE IN THE PARADE.  Groups with animals may wait until 5:00 to bring the animals but their float MUST be in place in time to line up everyone behind you. 

BANDS If you are a band director you will bring your buses to the line up area, drop your students then the buses will proceed to the outside, southbound lane of Broad Street between 3rd and 4th Streets and wait for the bands to finish the parade and load from there.

GENERATORS  Any entries using a generator to power their lights must have a GFCI, or a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Receptacle. Your float will not be allowed in the parade without one of these.  Also, plastic bags must be used to cover any power strips or plugs, to protect from possible bad weather.

NOTE PARADE ROUTE CHANGE  The city has asked us to alter the parade route.  We will step off at MLKing and Market, go north on Market to 3rd Street, turn left on 3rd Street and disband on Broad and 3rd.  Entries will slowly drive back to the start of the parade and unload.  If  you want to go a different way you may, the parade is terminated at Broad and 3rd Street.  Any walkers, chaperones, etc. who go back to the start of the parade route SHOULD USE THE SIDEWALK after the parade disperses, do not walk in Broad Street.

REMEMBER THE PARADE IS RAIN OR SHINE.  IT WILL PROBABLY BE RAINING A LITTLE IN THE MORNING BUT WE WILL NOT CALL OFF THE PARADE SO PLEASE BE THERE AND BE ON TIME.

We will have your numbers for you at the line up but you may print your own from this attachment if you like.  Just change this Word document to your correct number and print it.  The number goes in the PASSENGER side window this year which is a change from previous years.

Thanks so much for joining us in this wonderful parade, thanks to Volkswagen Chattanooga for their ongoing support for it.  See you next Saturday!

Looks like I will be there in a VW after all!  No, not Homer . . . Homer still isn't running, but, since the date changed, we will be able to make it.  We'll be in Franny's TDI Passat.
