Parade and Performance – Prosser State’s Day

We always have a great time participating in the Prosser States Day Parade, then we go over to Prosser Memorial Park and perform our stage show as part of the States Day festivities!

Prosser Parade and Stage Show details:

Meet at SW Bennett Ave by the bus barn for Keene River View Elementary School in Prosser. Take 2nd Prosser exit (Exit 80) by McDonalds and follow signs (or google it).

• 7:30 am – Unload van, decorate floats, set sound systems. You all did a stellar of decorating the floats and helping undecorate at the Kennewick parade.  Let’s do it again!
• 7:50 – Check in for attendance and formation placement. Have hair and makeup ready for the stage show.
• 8:00 am – Formations set; ALL Dancers and Cloggers practicing for parade
• 8:30 and 9:30 – Judging.  Everyone in place and ready to dance.
• 10:00 am – parade starts! All dancers and cloggers in place and ready to roll. We are in the first half of the parade to allow time to get to the park and change into costumes for our stage show.

DANCERS wear blue t-shirts with WHITE shorts (teens wear black shorts), comfortable mostly white shoes, white socks, hair in a tight bun so you are ready for the stage show that follows the parade.

CLOGGERS wear BLACK clogging shirts, denim/dark shorts, WHITE socks.

DANCER/CLOGGERS (Kids who do BOTH DANCE AND CLOG) – wear your preferred attire but bring the other. Have both the Blue Studio t-shirt with white shorts AND BLACK clogging shirt with denim shorts. You are Swing dancers and could be asked to dance on the clog trailer or in the street depending on numbers.  Thank you!

Bring water & remember sun screen. Cloggers bring comfortable walking shoes in case your clogging shoes begin to irritate you. The parade starts at 10:00. Bring/wear a jacket; warm up pants over your parade attire as it’s typically cool early in the morning.

Wear your t-shirts & shorts for the parade (just like the Benton-Franklin Fair Parade). Wear hair ready for the stage show (buns for dancers, side-parted low ponytails for cloggers). Sorry, no high ponytails for the parade as there is not enough time to change your hair for the show. Remember your lipstick so we see your smile.

Bring all costumes, tights, undergarments for the stage show. Remember to bring enough water for both events in a spill proof container and your lipstick. Wear sunscreen and eat a good breakfast.

PROSSER STATES DAY STAGE SHOW

This is a combined dance and clogging show with all costumes.  The show is at Prosser Memorial Park.  We will drive from the parade to the park.  We need help setting up and tearing down the canopy at the park for costume changes.

There is very little time to eat lunch & get ready after the parade, so packing your lunch is necessary. Bring your own lunch or buy it at the park for fastest service. DO NOT HAVE LUNCH AT ANY FAST FOOD PLACE OR RESTAURANT IN TOWN; THEY CANNOT GET TO YOU FAST ENOUGH AFTER THE PARADE

Our stage show is scheduled for 1:00 pm but usually starts early.  BE READY TO DANCE BY 12:30 PM
