Memorial Day Parade 2026

We’re looking for parent volunteers to help support our dancers during the Memorial Day Parade!

All volunteers will be required to purchase an event t-shirt ($15 plus fees). Please include your t-shirt size in the comment section when signing up on the SignUpGenuis.

Volunteer roles will include:

• Banner Team (3-4 volunteers): Help carry the group banner and assist with supervising our 6 & under dancers.

• Small Squad Chaperones: Be assigned a small group (about 6 kids) to walk with and supervise before and during the parade. You will remain responsible for your group until each child is signed out by a parent/guardian.

Thank you for helping us create a safe, organized, and fun experience for our dancers!
