NEW BAND INFORNATION 2010: As this is the seconed year having the new business along the parade staging area. We are trying to figure out how to made things work for us and parade participants!?
Here is what will go on.. Have the bus pull into the Save-on-foods parking lot and check in at the table in front of the Teriyaki Grill. After you are given your parade number you will drive down the new back road through the roundabout to the back of the new Helms Hardware Store. Pull into to the back parking area and unload the band members. You will then walk down the road to the street in front of Les Schwabs. A parade person will tell you where to go. Also as your parade position goes by you will be moved out into the parade. ( A lot of this did not work well last year so we are going to make some changes as we get clooser the the 2010 parade)
After the band members are off the bus it will turn around and go back down the road to Goodlander Rd. turn left and go through the first light to the new light up the hill by the High School turn left on to 1st St. and go through the next three traffic lights and turn left at the forth traffic light, right after Roybal's Lube and Oil. A parade person will make sure the bus goes to the right area! This is the end of the parade area. This is the same as it has been for many years.
As this is the first year trying to make the bands staging better because or the new businesses. Things my change again next year?
One other thing that is important is that you make sure at the band is playing music as you go by the first announcer stand in front of Well Fargo Bank. This is the key to getting a good score!!
