Some issues were said to me that must be said to all who want to participate in the parade this year.

After looking at the tape from last years’ parade, the parade committee has said a few things that I will list here:
· They are aiming to have the Grape & Wine Parade to be as spectacular as the Macy’s Parade and therefore are stepping up the protocol.
· They want the group to step up the costumes, not to be thrown together at last minute.
· They want the group to be “tighter” when walking. We often start off in lines when we start off the parade, but as the parade goes on, we start to be more lax in keeping in formation. They want us to be more conscious of that and stay in formation. We also should keep like characters together, for instance, keep all the princesses together.
· The lady said that we are on probation and this is our last chance. We were close to being cut already but they are giving us one more chance to prove ourselves.

If they want the parade to be of “Macy’s” caliber, then the truck will not be suitable, so therefore it has not been entered in this year’s parade.
