GREAT NEWS!!!!  I just received the info from the committee regarding our entry, and we are listed as starting in the front. The letter from the committee said in part: "Grouping all the motorcycles together at the very front of the parade will act as an alert to all the spectators that the parade has indeed started: if they don't see you at first they darn well will hear you coming!"
