In the absence of any other person who was willing, I have volunteered to be the leader of this Year's Honor Guard.

I will now post a thread for a meeting Next Saturday - 3pm Eastern time. We will meet in the Tapestry Neighborhood unless SG has another meeting at that time, and then we can reschedule.

BUMP

and also, another apology for missing the meeting. I did have one question: the route...I thought last year we skipped going through the conference room because of lag...and instead walked on balcony outside it...then continued and walked back on balcony to linking room so Rand and company could link to next parade hood...

I don't want to arrange any rehearsals until I have this 'from the top' (i.e. SuperGram) of the route.

Also...as RL does...I'll be away from computers from this Wednesday (20th Feb) for a week and not available Friday 29th because of work...so happy work is picking up!, but will try to not miss ANY other meetings, etc...and will set up rehearsal times for R.E.B.E.L. when I know the route.

EVERYONE bring out your green cheer/Uru cheer and celebrate. SG, I'm 1/2 Irish too, was in the Chicago St. Pat's Parade waaaaay back in 60's (phew!) and all the Uru marches (when lag allowed)...it's fun, and gets people together...to party! Come one! Come all!

Sorry you missed the meeting Uni...Last year the route did go through the community room and we will follow the same route once again this year. Please see map below.....

4th Annual D’ni St. Pat’s Parade/Party Instructions

Friday March 14th 2008
Beginning at 6pm EDT
Grand Marshal to be announced
_____________________________________________________

Parade will march this year, through 6 selected host neighborhoods, beginning with the German Uru Hood ending in the St. Pat’s Parade Hood in the Community Room. All Host Hoods are encouraged to invite the remaining hoods to march along with them. All hoods marching will be announced over TeamSpeak and are encouraged to select a Host Hood of choice and ask to march along with them.

For those who don’t have TeamSpeak they can get it free at: http://www.goteamspeak.com
EricL has made his TS Server available for us and the IP is: 72.232.227.5:8767
• Several Channels will be set up on TeamSpeak:
• Each Host hood may set up a special, private hood channel and can communicate with their members there.
• A St. Patrick’s Parade Chat channel has been set up for the general public.
• A St. Patrick’s Parade Music channel will be set up.
• A private St. Patrick’s Parade Committee channel for Committee communication has been set up.



Host Hoods In Order of Parade March:

1. German Uru Hood Coordinator: hamsta
2. The Meeting Place Coordinator: Ivanova
3. Guild of Greeters Coordinator: Daryn (Aderyn)
4. UruObsession Coordinator: T’layeh
5. REBEL Coordinator: Unicorn
6. Amber Horizon Coordinator: CrisGer
7. End point…..St. Pat’s Parade Hood


1. Parade begins at 6pm EDT. NULP members, the D’ni Color Guard, Spectators and Guest Hoods should get there at least a half hour to an hour early to set up and be lined up at the start point by the time the Grand Marshal link’s in. This is important because the hood will be made private once the parade begins and is in progress. Guests will not be able to get to the hood and members are requested on their honor, not to link back until the parade has reached the end point in the hood. If you crash, you can go to the St. Pat’s Parade Hood or a hood of your choice where you can continue to follow the parade on TeamSpeak and party while you wait.
• The hood coordinator will assign a volunteer member to be in the nexus to make the hood private after the Grand Marshal links in before the parade begins. It would be advisable that this member be a spectator and should be given enough time to return to the hood and take his/her place. The hood can be made once again public when the parade has reached the finish mark. This procedure should be done in all hoods. THE REASON FOR THIS TO ELIMINATE LINK IN FREEZE WHILE THE PARADE IS IN PROGRESS……….
• When the parade reached the finish point there will be a 5 minute delay to allow enough time for the Press people Photographers and the Guard to move to the next hood before the Grand Marshal moves on to the next Host Hood which should be set up and in place by the time he links in. I ask that, (other then those listed above) you please remain in the hood and do not link to the next hood, so not to over populate the next Host Hood or cause link crashes for the Grand Marshal with so many linking at the same time. Once the parade has reached the end point, you can remain in your home hood, visit other hoods or come to the St. Pat’s Parade Hood. Hood hopping is encouraged.
• All Host Hoods should send Hood Invites to the Grand Marshal and Party.
o Note: Following a brief chat with GreyDragon the only confirmed Cyanists to attend is GreyDragon and possibly RAWA. I will also invite the ResEng’s to march with the Grand Marshal.

2. The Guard will be near the link-in spot prepared to escort Rand and Party up the right staircase to take their place in front. (If possible at least 2 Guardsmen should be assigned to each hood) The Guard will fall in place behind the Grand Marshal and Party. The Grand Marshal will then lead the parade through the hood along the chosen path as shown on the attached map.
 The march will begin by going through the community room from the left side, going around the platform in front of the pedestal, up the stairs on the opposite side exiting the room.

3. The parade concludes by going up the right staircase and ends at the top of the left staircase near the back door of the book room. This procedure will follow through all Host Hoods.
 The Guard, having finished the march in their assigned hood will then link to the St. Pat’s Parade Hood and take their place on either side of the platform by the pedestal in the community room. The Guard leader will escort the Grand Marshal to the platform.

4. The final destination of the parade will be the St. Pat’s Parade Hood. Following link-in and line up by the Grand Marshal, they will proceed up the right staircase to the community room platform by the pedestal, escorted by the Honor Guard.
Everyone in the Reception Hood is asked to please not go to the community room until the Grand Marshal and party has reached the pedestal and keeps his path clear. THE REASON FOR THIS IS TO NOT CAUSE THE GRAND MARSHAL AND PARTY UNDUE LAG WHILE ON THEIR WAY TO THE COMMUNITY ROOM……Once they have reached the platform, everyone is encouraged to go to the community room and meet the Cyanists or spread out through the hood in various places…..The party now begins. Have fun......

Music and sound will be supplied through TeamSpeak. BrettM will play March Music during the parade and I hope to have a male and female Commentator in the room to announce during the parade. DJ’s are asked not to play their music during the parade. BrettM will also play music during the party all through the day and night on TeamSpeak.

Updates to the Parade Instructions will follow as they develop…

Next scheduled meeting will be this Saturday Feb. 23rd at 2pm EST in the UruTapestry Hood. Please try to make the meeting. We will be setting up and testing TeamSpeak.

There can't be a 6 hour difference between New York and Idaho. Unless I'm wrong about what EDT stands for.
