PARADES 101
WHEN & HOW DO YOU PARTICIPATE IN A PARADE?
Even if a dancer is not participating in TPT, they can still join us for Parades!
At Trinity, we want our dancers and parents to be easily recognized in the community so all parade participants must follow the same uniform. We have two parade uniforms, one for warmer March weather and one for really cold March weather. The decision on which uniform to follow for each parade will be made the week of the parade and noted on the Trello card.
We want everyone to participate in the parade so please prepare for both scenarios of the following uniform scenarios. Dancers who are not following the uniform will NOT be allowed to participate in the parade.
CAN PARENTS AND SIBLINGS PARTICIPATE? YES!
We want all Trinity dance families to participate! Parents and siblings are welcome to march with us behind the float. Please wear black/dark pants and either a black jacket or an Irish sweater (cream or beige only).
ASK A PARENT!
What was your favorite part of St. Patrick's Day/TPT?
Seeing my daughter love performing was a favorite part, as was the part when she took the microphone at her school (she was a preschooler) and confidently introduced herself to the audience and said her favorite part about Irish dance was dancing on stage!
What tip can you offer a new parent debating signing up for TPT?
There are lots of people willing to help....help tie laces, help show your kids or the parents where to go and stand, help driving kids between shows, help with extra activities and snacks, and there’s almost always one or more parents who have really great cameras and who take amazing pictures to share!
Any other thoughts or funny memories of your first year?
Just the joy of watching the dancers perform and improving with each performance.
Other nice memories - I was incredibly impressed with the maturity of the older dancers, show captains and drillers that work with the younger kids and take them through the season. They are very encouraging and great role models for the kids!
