Rough Riders Parade Rules



    Krewe of Brigadoon Rules

    Float Rules

    NO SMOKING ON THE FLOAT!

    • NO standing in the hallway or bead bags on the floor of the hallway. Keep it clear.
    • NO standing by or on the stairs on the back of the float or the stairs to the castle.
    • Do not let anyone who is not a Brigadoon Member ride on our float. If anyone (other than our members) gets on our float during the parade, please tell safety / security officer (or board member) immediately.
    • Please be respectful of the hard work members have put into the float and to pick up after yourself.
    • Do not leave anything on the float, including Personal Items. Do not bring anything expensive or important to the float. Keep your wallet, ID, money, purse, sunglasses, keys, cameras etc. on you at all times.
    • Stay away from the float, tow vehicle and hitch area at all times and respect safety security as they stop members away from the float. Floats move slowly and have bad visibility. Watch your back and do not lean over to pick up beads off the street.
    • Depending on attendance, not everyone will be able to ride on the float. Please allow spaces for people who need them.

    Costume

    St. Pat's Parade - your normal tartan kilt (of an appropriate length). KOB St Pat's T-shirt (any year) or if you choose to wear full costume. You can have lights under your kilt etc and can wear tights/socks that are themed even if they don't match a color in your kilt. Wear comfortable shoes or boots per costume Rules (green is acceptable for this parade).  CLICK HERE. 

    Guests

    No guests of any kind are allowed during the actual parade. Only members of Brigadoon and Safety/ Security may walk with us, around or on our float.  Anyone who is not a Krewe member must leave the area 10 minutes before the parade starts. 

    Safety

    If you are falling down intoxicated and Security feels you are a safety risk. You will be required to be on the float for the rest of the parade. Tougher rules on intoxication members, by putting them on the float (Drunk Tank) if they are not willing to listen or can not walk for their own safety. Security Officers will make that judgement call and will be enforced.

    Do NOT walk alone during and especially after this parade. Walk in well lit areas and stay together with other krewe members. For you safety we recommend you to stick together in groups.

    Conduct

    Everyone please be RESPECTFUL to the parade marshals and our Safety & Security team protecting us.

    Beads 

    Please put bead bags in the storage shelves or up in the village or in the castle. Make sure your name is marked clearly on all bags.

    Do not pile beads on the back of the float, or in the walkways painted black. Beads MUST have your name on them! Take your beads out of the box at home and use a disposable bag.

    Do not bring boxes, suitcases, duffle bags or coolers and lay them all over the float floor, especially on the rear of the float. Buy "Throw” beads, about one box (60 dozen) should work well for this short parade. Put beads in disposable plastic bags. If you do not put your name on your beads someone may accidentally throw them for you or move them to another location.

    Food / Drinks

    Food will be provided by the Krewe on our float. Do not bring anything in glass bottles and do not bring any alcohol or beer!

    Food is only for KOB Members and safety security volunteers.
