DATE: November 04, 2014
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Robert T. Guthrie, Chief of Police
By: Mike Castro, Lieutenant
SUBJECT: STREET CLOSURES FOR THE FESTIVAL OF BANDS PARADE
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
It is recommended that the City Council approve the closure of specific City streets for the
Arcadia High School Music Club's 61st Annual Festival of Bands Parade, which will be
held on Saturday, November 15, 2014.
DISCUSSION
Approximately 40 of California's Top High School bands have been invited to attend and
compete in the 61st Annual Festival of Bands put on by the Arcadia High School Music
Club. The Police Department has confirmed with the City Attorney's Office that the
appropriate insurance binders have been issued to properly protect the City.
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 into
the disband area (see attachment, Parade Route Map). After parade awards are given at
Arcadia High School, the bands will move by vehicle to East Los Angeles Community
College for the field competition.
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 will provide parade route security for the event and the
Public Works Services Department will supply barricades and provide assistance in
preparation for street closure and traffic diversion.
