Announcement
MAA will be participating in the Bob Jones Homecoming Parade on September 27, 2012. Parade line up will be at 4:30 pm on Portal Lane in Madison and the parade will begin at 5:00 pm. It is suggested that parents meet at a mutual spot like Publix on Old Madison Pike since it is not that far from Portal Lane around 4:00 pm for the kids to get on the truck that they will be riding on....Parents should then meet back at this mutual site to pick their kids up. I would also suggest that parents are not to "drop" their child off and pick up later, as none of us are sure of the exact time-line of events. The earlier the team gets in the parade line...the quicker their participation time will go!
Attire
Football.....Game jersey and shorts
Cheer....cheer uniform or cheer top and shorts....whatever Kim Lawson decides, please be uniform
Coaches/Team Mom....coach shirt
Parents....Madison Patriots shirt if possible
*****
The teams will need to have a truck/flat bed to ride on. Cheer may consider combining all teams if they can all fit on whatever vehicle is selected.
Permission slips....Team Moms will collect and turn their entire group's slips NLT 9/20/12....please DO NOT bring individual slips to the concession stand....it is difficult for us to keep up with the slips. If a child does not have a permission slip, they ARE NOT to participate under any circumstances. EACH participant needs a permission slip. A "community" slip per family is unacceptable!
*****
Parents should ensure that their child has eaten and is well hydrated for the parade. The child may want to bring along a water bottle, etc.
Teams are welcome to throw candy, goody bags, etc. A poster board/sign with the team name on it taped and/or balloons on the vehicle would be great! Of course, Patriot spirit is expected! Most of all, the kids should have fun! As a parade participant, each player/cheerleader is representing MAA. The MAA Code of Conduct is also in effect.
*****
Please review the parade safety policy located in the "Handouts" section before your child participates in the parade.
