Below is a map of where the numbers have been staked for line up, in red along the streets. In summary:
1, 3, 4-5, 22, 22a and 36 are lined up on Spotswood Drive.
2 are all Fire, EMT, etc. along Taylor Street
6 - 11 are on the first half of Wallace Street
12 - 30 are in Brewbaker Field
31 - 56 continue on Wallace Street and
57 - 74 are in the Maury River Middle School back parking lot.
Please share this with all involved in your organization so everyone is aware of where they need to go. Please be advised that the streets will be closed and busy with floats and vehicles lining up, as well as, LOTS of people. We ask anyone dropping off children to park and walk them to their spot - there won’t be room for you to drive along the route.
If you don't know your number, scroll down after the map. Entries are listed in numerical order first, then in alphabetical order.
Let’s all have fun tonight and stay safe!

4. Please indicate on Application if your group wants to be judged, if an appropriate category exists. Direct your performance accordingly.
All performance groups and marching bands are limited to a three (3) minute timed stop. Those who don’t adhere to the time limit will not
