SUBJECT: CLOSURE OF SPECIFIC CITY STREETS FOR THE 60TH ANNUAL
FESTIVAL OF BANDS PARADE ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2013
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
This report requests the City Council approve the closure of specific City streets for the
Arcadia High School Music Club's 60th Annual Festival of Bands Parade that will be held
on Saturday, November 16, 2013.
DISCUSSION
Approximately 40 of the top California High School bands have been invited to attend and
compete in the 60th Annual Festival of Bands, a marching band competition and parade.
As in years past, the proposed parade route will have the bands exit Gate 1 from the
Santa Anita Race Track parking lot onto westbound Huntington Drive to southbound
Baldwin Avenue to eastbound Duarte Road to northbound El Monte Avenue to eastbound
Campus Drive and into the disband area (parade route map is attached). Parade awards
are given at the High School and then the bands move by vehicle to Citrus College in
Glendora for the field competition. This will require the temporary closure of streets along
the parade route.
This request covers the closure of Baldwin Avenue from Huntington Drive to Duarte Road
and Duarte Road from Baldwin Avenue to El Monte Avenue. The closure will be from
8:00 a.m. to approximately 1:00 p.m. Closure of Campus Drive from Santa Anita Avenue
to Park Avenue is also required from 6:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Additionally, traffic will be
disrupted intermittently on Huntington Drive between Baldwin Avenue and Gate 1 for
bands to exit the staging area.

The appropriate insurance binders have been issued by the event organizers to properly
protect the City. Arrangements will be made for the temporary posting of no parking signs
on the parade route and other areas near the parade. Posting will occur several days
before the event.
Police Department personnel provide parade route security for the event and the Public
Works Services Department supplies barricades and assistance in preparation for street
closure and traffic diversion.
The Arcadia High School Music Club will notify the businesses as well as the affected
residential area by hand - delivering flyers to all who are impacted by this event.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Police Department budget includes $11,200 in overtime expenses for this event.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the City Council approve the closure of specific City streets for the 60th
