COLOR GUARD - (Svatek will be at THS from 5:15-6:30pm, if you want to pick up a green shirt for the parade prior to the event)
Sat 6/21• Color Guard Walk in Juneteenth Parade - 8:30am
IMPORTANT - Juneteenth parade walkers
1. You may pick up a green shirt at THS from 5:15-6:30pm on Friday OR, I will have them at the parade. The parade starts at 9:00am, and I would imagine it would be over by 10:00am.
2. Wear black shorts and tennis shoes on Saturday.
3. Meet by 8:30am by City Hall in downtown Taylor Saturday morning. Look for my dark green SUV. I’ll send out my exact location when they put us in line.
4. I will have water and any equipment we may need.
5. You may wear caps and shades.
6. The march is a little over a mile.
7. Please have your parents pick you up at the Dickey Center near Robinson park on MLK after the parade. If you want to stay for the festivities, you can.
Looking forward to seeing all of you volunteers. Thanks for supporting this community event. Let me know if you have any more questions.Mrs. Svatek
