Judging

Entry judging will be done in three locations this year, at the Jaycee Parade Post, the post office, and at the Reviewing Stand on Front Street. It has been suggested that we judge entries before the parade begins in the staging area. This was done in 1998 and 1999, but was discontinued in 2000 because many groups were unprepared at the time the judges came around. This "pre-judging" also gave us little opportunity to judge the musical and cheerleading units.

Winners will be announced to the public at the DuPage County Fairgrounds at 8:30 PM on July 4th. We will be contacting the winners in the afternoon, after the parade. If would like to provide us with an alternate number where someone can be reached on the Fourth, please call us at (630) 668-7074, or use the "Registration corrections" form.
