Parade Etiquette

NO throwing of candy or any other objects at any time during the parade. This results in children running out into the road near the wheels of the floats.  We do NOT want any child injured or worse during this enjoyable event. If at any time during the parade the Flag Day Committee members witness this, your organization will not be invited back for next year. Have one or two people march with you and hand out the candy.

Keep the Parade moving! DO NOT stop to perform along the route once you have started to march. This causes gaps, and empty spaces. The reviewing stand has an announcer that must try to explain to the crowd what is happening, and this is not enjoyable to the people that are kept waiting in the crowd down the street or the marchers stopped and waiting behind you. Please keep moving with no gaps.

Show respect for the spirit of the event. Celebrate the Flag, Community Spirit, and volunteerism. Please keep any and all Political, Spiritual, and Personal opinions for appropriate events.

Respect the Flag Day Committee Members. They work hard all year long to coordinate this event, if you see something that is wrong, disagree with something or someone, or feel something needs to change for next year, join the committee, voice your comment then, we welcome your attendance at our meetings.

Thank you for your cooperation and participation.
