This application is intended for providing the Parade Selection Committee with the information necessary to choose the most appropriate units for the parade.

If your unit is chosen, the information that you provide will be used for several purposes, including publication for use by all interested media. Therefore, please let us know of any unique characteristics or personalities involved with your unit so that we may feature this in our media kit and various media releases.

The organization reserves the right to refuse any entry into the parade that does not depict the parade purpose or does not adhere to the policies of the organization.
