Emcee Script Information
When filling out the 'Organization', 'Entry', and 'Greetings' portions of the parade application, keep in mind that it is this information that the emcees will use to introduce your unit as it passes the reviewing stand.
We recommend that you be brief, think through what you want to say before entering it on the form, and most importantly, print, type or write legibly.
If they can't read it, they can't say it.
