perform will be disqualified from
prize money.*
Your organization is responsible for all needs of
your participants. The Rodeo
Association does not furnish
transportation or refreshments
for this event.
Applicants are encouraged to
build structural floats, however
this is not a requirement (refer
to these photos of last year’s
winners for inspiration). Don’t
forget to make sure that your
float reflects the Rodeo, the
theme, and to have fun!

Only the top-judged band will
receive a prize - so be prepared
to impress! Bands must have at

full band attire.
Smaller bands may also enter
the parade but are ineligible for
the Battle of the Bands prize
donation. Entering bands will be

to walk along the parade route following and cleaning up after said animals; we’d like to leave the route cleaner than we found it! If an
