First Things First

The first thing I would recommend you do is pray.  This is an assignment from the Lord and therefore you are entitled to His help.  And He will help you if you ask. 

The next thing I would strongly recommend is to go to the parade prior to your years parade if at all possible.  I had never been to the Youth parade before and it was immensely helpful to get a feel for what would be expected of you.  

Take lots of pictures.  

Take pictures of the floats,

take pictures of the parade participants, 

their costumes, 

things they carry, 

and other interesting ideas that you think might be useful to you (like carrying squirt bottles and spraying parade walkers as you walk.  It gets warm).  

At the very least try to attend the Float Preview Party that is held at the Southtowne Expo Center, usually July 22 & 23rd.  Also take note of the different interpretations of the parade theme.
