These items must be handed out or dropped at the edge of the

Turn left at
Lafayette Street
Parade Route:
The parade will start out from your designated Lot (Truman Bldg parking lots) and will be lined up and
proceed up High Street. You will proceed on High Street and turn left on Lafayette Street. You will then
turn left on Capitol Avenue. You will go around the Capitol and down Main Street. (Please watch for
incoming traffic going to Mass at St. Peter’s Church, we are working with them to keep this route safe).
You will meet back into your previously designated Lots. Please inform all float riders that persons
picking them up will NOT be able to drive down the exit ramp from High Street to Missouri Blvd until the
ENTIRE parade is back. Please use the designated drop off area as your pick up area. We appreciate your
assistance in this matter. There will be absolutely no parking for band members or parents in Lot 9 or in
Lot 10 closest to the overpass.
