Parade Update

Parade this Saturday!  

Let's represent Lone Peak and our Dance Company!

Thanks Whit and Kira for choreographing for the parade!  Practice for those who missed it or for those who want more practice: Tuesday and Friday 6-7pm.

We have the truck (Whit) and cooler with drinks (Chayn) taken care of.  Thank You!

We still need a sound system from which we can project music from to the audience.  The music will be looped or on repeat.  Does anyone have any ideas or connections for this sort of thing?  I don't know if we need a generator for the speakers, or any kind of hook ups?  Maybe dads or boyfriends might know about that kind of stuff.

Does anyone have any candy they would like to donate for us to throw?

We will be wearing your own white runners/sneakers/hightops, black shorts (like plain exercise shorts that are not as short as spankies.  We saw some at Walmart for around $5).  Everyone will need a black racerback sports bra (to wear under the tops we have (I will bring).  I have seen sports bras cheap at Walmart too, and this can help with addressing the issue of not having spaghetti straps in the classroom too, if worn under a spaghetti strap top.     

Hair must be neatly pulled back any way you wish, but nothing falling out.  Wear nice makeup, with lipstick slightly darker than what you normally wear.  You may want to think of something that doesn't run off or smear too much, as you will get sweaty.

Example of Shorts (but black).  You may want to wear your hotshorts underneath.  

 

Here is an example of an inexpensive pack of sports bras (I think you get 4 for $9).  We do also have the option of everyone wearing their own bright/neon sports bra under the top too.  The top we are wearing is racerback and is black.

 

Don't Forget:  Sunscreen and Water Bottles!  

View the parade route; it starts at Highland Elementary School, goes south on 6000 West, turns east on 10400 North, and ends at Heritage Park.

Here is the parade handbook of rules and procedures:

Some parade rules and procedures to note:

1. For the safety of all participants, if an individual starts the parade on foot they must stay on 

foot.  If an individual starts the parade in a moving vehicle, they must stay in that vehicle the 

entire parade route.

2. Tossing of candy is acceptable during the parade.  Candy must be tossed at least six (6) feet 

away from the parade entry to prevent any spectator from becoming injured by parade entry 

(vehicle, float, horse, etc.)  Any parade entrant who does not toss candy at a safe distance may 

be disqualified from the parade. 

4. Parade must continually move, no stopping on the parade route.  If your group causes 

parade gaps, you may be disqualified from the parade.  

Parade Handbook5. Groups that are not in their assigned line-up location by the start of the parade may be 

disqualified from the parade or placed at the very end of the parade (to be determined by 

Parade Staff). 

Pick Up and Drop Off:

2. Staging Area: The staging area is in the front parking lot of Highland Elementary (10865 

North 6000 West), in Highland.  Please DO NOT PARK ANY VEHICLES IN THE 

STAGING AREA UNLESS THEY WILL BE USED IN THE PARADE.  See Parade Staging 

Map.

3. Drop Off: Please enter 6000 West from 11000 North. If your vehicle is being used in the 

parade please continue on 6000 West to the school parking lot/road in front of the school to 

line up in your designated spot.  For those dropping off parade participants turn west on 10930 

N. and drop off participants in the neighborhood around the corner from the school or utilize a 

residential street south of the school (do not park on 6000 W).  Equestrian entries may 

assemble behind the school (10930 N & 6150 W) then come to the parade staging area when 

the parade starts. 

4. Pick Up: The parade route will head south (on 6000 West) from Highland Elementary to 

10400 North and east to Heritage Park and south on the Alpine Highway ending at the church 

south of Heritage Park (approximately 1.4 miles).  All vehicles should turn into the church 

parking lot (south of the baseball field).  Please loop all the way around the church parking lot 

before stopping to allow other vehicles to enter behind you.  Very large entries may pull in 

front of the church to drop off participants.  

Hopefully this answers everyone's questions.
