Riding in the parade
For riders: your float, seat and lieutenant, substitutes, costumes, throws, directions to staging and messages from your lieutenant.
This section is for members who ride. It only applies if your krewe organizes its floats on its site. If you don’t see a Your float panel in My Account and your krewe hasn’t mentioned it, your krewe may handle floats another way, and your lieutenant or the krewe can tell you more.
The articles in this section cover:
- Your float and your lieutenant: what the Your float panel and the Your lieutenant card show, before and after your float is published.
- Your seat and the float map: reading the seat chart and downloading the float map.
- Substitutes: when someone rides in your place, or you ride for someone else.
- Costumes and costume sizes.
- Your throws: what’s delivered to your float and what you pick up.
- Parade staging and directions.
- Messages from your lieutenant.
- Your float and your lieutenant What the Your float panel and the Your lieutenant card in My Account show, and what changes when your float is published.
- Your seat and the float map How to read the seat chart in the Your float panel and download your float map as a PDF.
- Substitutes What you see when someone rides in your place, or when you ride for another member.
- Costumes and costume sizes Giving the krewe your costume size before the deadline, and buying costumes in the store if your krewe sells them.
- Your throws Where to see the throws and throw packages you've bought, which ones go straight to your float and which you pick up.
- Parade staging and directions Find the krewe's den and this season's parade staging location in My Account, with one-tap directions.
- Messages from your lieutenant How your float lieutenant emails riders, how to reply, and how these messages relate to your email preferences.
