Due to a miscommunication with the Dragoncon Parade Organizers, the orginal 25 ribbons allocated to the Legacy, are to be split between the Legacy and the Sci Fi Military Color Guard (the former USCM Color Guard).
15 ribbons are to be made available to the Legacy, and more will come available as various groups return ribbons. Any questions, please go ahead and ask me.
DragonCon Parade Organizers allotted a total of 25 Parade Ribbons to be used for the Color Guard and AL. A miscommunication did indeed arise, the former USCM Color Guard has morphed into the Sci-Fi Military Color Guard. The Parade Organizers were being generous with the 25 Parade spots as last year, we had what, 11?
In the past, I've reserved 55 and used them all up. However, as most of you are all aware, the Parade Participation has been dwindling every year for the past several years.
I've returned 30+ every year for 3-4 years.
Yes, there was some confusion regarding what was originally one group, but has since spun off into two separate groups. It is what it is.
No body is happy about it and I've heard from many involved and probably will hear from more.
I am trying to procure more Parade Ribbons, if it's even possible. But, if you look at the turnout from the AL over the past two years, 15 would be enough. The late sign-ups, differences in opinions, etc. have all contributed to what we have today.
I have hopes the USCM / Aliens Parade Group can be rebuilt into it's former glory. (60 I believe is our record?)
But for this year, there's 15 spots available for the Aliens Legacy. Again, I'm trying to get more and should I be successful, I hope that they are used and I don't have to return them.
That would be embarrassing!
