InVolunteer & InSecurity

This fun position gives you self-importance and authority to:

  • blow your whistle at obnoxious people (besides yourself)
  • stop water situations
  • keep the parade paced & moving
  • assist with crowd control
  • Clean-up of trash on your corner.
    • Leave trash bags on your corner when done (we'll pick them up later). 
    • After your corner looks tidy, feel free to follow behind the parade and come on down to the After Parade Block Party fun!!!!   

You'll get a wonderful little set up from Friends of Doo Dah: 

  • a coveted collector’s item; a 2008 Doo Dah Parade Silver Anniversary T-Shirt (please wear this during your shift, and the rest of your life)
  • a whistle (this is where the self-importance comes in)
  • Doo Dah Cop Badge
  • Trash bag and gloves
  • Tottle of water
  • Our undying gratitude

 Volunteer Doo-Ties

  • Mind the attendees; try to keep parade participants in DisOrder, no passing zone.
  • Keep the crowd from coming into the streets while parade saunters by.
  • Line-up InVolunteers - ask the marchers NOT to throw things from the parade please.
  • Where there are Less-Than-Honorable Judges, there will be chaos...do with it what you can, then go have a drink.
  • NO FREAKIN' WATER!  That means from the crowd or the parade entrants.  This means no water balloons, super soakers or garden hoses or any other clever little devices.
  • Encourage the crowd to help pick up trash around your area.
  • There will be a trash truck following the parade.  Just toss your bag or leave it on the corner.
  • If you come across a problem you can’t or don’t want to handle, contact a police officer on the nearest corner.  That's what they are there for.

Have fun, laugh a lot, and come to the after parade block party on High Street (between Buttles & Russell) after your done.


Be brave!  UnVolunteer for the 25th Annual Doo Dah Parade!
