ALL contingents will provide one volunteer per 10 marchers to work as a Safety Monitor during the March. The safety monitors, while marching, must monitor the immediate contingent area and be available in the case of an emergency situation as determined by FDC Safety personnel along the route. Floats must be constructed of flame-proof material or treated with fire retardants. Each year, vehicles drop out of the March early due to overheating. Please respect all directions and instructions given by FDC personnel before and during the event.
Lottery placement is final.
There will be no day of event switching, trading places, etc. The lottery is intended to place contingents in a fair and random manner. Once your contingent has been placed, FDC will know approximately what time you will step off. The whole contingent should arrive approximately 30 minutes before your step-off time. To be eligible for the lottery, this application must be received by the deadlines.
