Staging Lot:
Greet parade entrants and line them up in numerical order, give directions to entries who need help finding their lot, and help non-parade traffic navigate out of the staging area. Volunteers should be prepared to respond to a variety of questions about the parade, parking, staging lot locations, and traffic routes. Time requirement: 4:30 - 8:00 p.m.
Barricades and Traffic:
Direct non-parade traffic around the staging area and help parade entries find their staging lot. Most positions are located around the perimeter and within the staging area (Tybee Light House). Volunteers should be prepared to handle a rush of traffic and questions prior to the parade, then slowing when the parade starts. Time requirement: 4:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Parade Route:
Keep spectators off the parade route and on sidewalks or behind barricades and answering questions from spectators about the parade. This position will require walking and standing throughout the parade. Time requirement: 4:30 - 9:00 p.m.
End of Route/Entrant Dispersion:
Direct parade entries (vehicles and walkers) so they do not stop on the route causing the parade to backup. Volunteers should be prepared for periods with a high volume of entries to keep moving, with intermittent periods with no entries (entries must stop periodically to let traffic cross the parade route downtown).
