HOW DO I FIND THE PARENTS CLUB GROUP?  

Parents Club will have the SJNMA GUIDON in the park on the east side of PROSPECT and the Corner of E MASON right at the turn of the parade route.  Look for all the crazy people dressed in our purple and red!!!

HOW LONG IS THE PARADE?
From the time the parade kicks off to the end point will take about 1.5 hours to march.

WHERE ARE THE CADETS POSITIONED IN THE PARADE?
This year we are in the "3rd DIVISION"  second half of the parade - it will take some time for the boys to make their way to our location.  If you are at the meeting place by 11am it will be about 1145-1200 before the cadets make their way past us.  Plenty of time to socialize and get to know the other parents and alumni!

CAN WE MEET UP WITH CADETS?  HAVE LUNCH?
The parade marshals are very strict about get in / get out.... once the parade is over the boys will be getting directly onto the buses and heading back to SJNMA.   There really will not be an opportunity to meet up with the boys. But are they excited when they come around a corner and there is a huge cheering section waiting for them!!!

CAN MY CADET LEAVE WITH ME AFTER THE PARADE?
Cadets must come on the buses and leave on the buses - this is to insure accountability for all.  If you need to see your cadet you can meet them back at SJNMA after they return from the parade.
