All parade entries will be considered and must be approved by the Parade Committee. An information desk will be located in the forming area and will be staffed by our parade officials. Please check in at the information desk first for directions to the appropriate Division Captain for placement and line-up position. Please remember, for trophies, YOU WILL BE JUDGED ONLY AT THE REVIEWING STAND.
We request that with your entry, you enclose a short synopsis about your group or entry. This will permit our parade announcer to properly recognize your group at the reviewing stand. Due to time constraints limiting the progress of the parade, we ask you keep your announcement and any special routines you would like to perform for the judges under 20 seconds.
Awards will be presented at VFW Post 4647, 3300 “U” Street, Antelope CA, as soon as possible following the completion of the parade.
