Montwood High School’s Homecoming Parade

Information, Rules & Tips for Success Millennium Theme…Part like a Millennial!

Montwood High School is excited to celebrate the spirit and tradition with the second annual

Montwood High School Homecoming Parade. Our goal is to raise pride and spirit and bring

the entire community together! The following guidelines are what we must to keep this parade

a great success!

• Professional-looking signage is required and needs to be at the front of the entry and on the

left side of the entry. We can provide names of local sign companies if you prefer to have them

made, but hand-made, clearly visible signage is fine.

• All entries must have an adult and licensed driver to represent each entry. Each

float/car/truck must have AT LEAST 2 people for passenger cars and 4 people for all other

vehicles walking around the sides of the vehicle to ensure the safety of everyone involved if

participants are inside back of truck, on float, etc. These people will be responsible for making

sure the spectators do not get too close to the vehicle.

• Operators (drivers) of motorized or non-motorized vehicles may not throw any item or items

from a moving vehicle. Operators (drivers) of motorized or non-motorized vehicles may not

talk or text on their cell phone during the course of the parade.

• Participants must keep all body parts within the confines of the vehicle or float. Dangling feet

over the edge of the vehicle is prohibited.

• Parade participants should in no way encourage spectators to leave the curb or move into the

street for any reason. Participants are prohibited from stepping or jumping onto or off of any

parade apparatus, moving or stopped, during the course of the parade.

• Open-flame devices are prohibited on parade floats. The use of fuel-fired torches, candles,

grills or similar devices that serve as potential ignition sources are prohibited. Each parade

apparatus, excluding unmodified vehicles with no trailer in tow, is required to have at least one

portable fire extinguisher rate Type A/B/C that shall be in working order with all handles,

hoses, and pull-ins intact and a pressure gauge indicating the device is fully charged.

• Hard or pointed objects such as pens, pencils, etc., are prohibited. Those who do not comply

may be removed from the parade.

• Montwood High School staff, Student Council, and SISD Police will be on site to assist in the

coordination of the parade organization and will be able to direct you to your exact spot in the

line-up. Please don’t hesitate to ask for assistance if needed or if you have any questions.

Please remember that SAFETY is our #1 CONCERN during the parade. Please keep this in mind

while planning and constructing your float and also during the parade.
