Originally Posted By iDisney72 SuzyMouse, or anyone else who has been in parades at DLR, approximately how much time goes between audition weekend and first performance?

For EP, I believe the rehearsal process is about a month long, since it's already choreographed- they just need to teach the new people and have street rehearsals. Christmas parade is usually around 6 weeks, since there's some new choreography every year and POD and Block Party were in rehearsals for about 2 1/2 months before they opened.
