In <br /> particular, Police Chief Corr said that shortening the route would save his department a lot of <br /> money because fewer officers would be needed for managing the Parade. <br /> • Many committee members noted that there are very few observers of the Parade between <br /> Maple St. and Woburn St. Most of the Parade crowd is located only in Lexington Center, and <br /> therefore, shortening the Parade route would not impact most of the viewers. <br /> • The Committee voted to develop a proposal to submit to the Board of Selectmen. Lorain asked <br /> for volunteers to work on the proposal. <br /> Approval of Parade Applications <br /> The Committee approved the applications of the following units involving no fees: <br /> • The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts <br /> • CAAL <br /> • DB Studios (float) <br /> • Lexington Girl Scouts <br /> • Lexington Goes Purple <br /> • Lexington HS Best Buddies <br /> • Lexington Youth Commission (one float, one car) <br /> • Fitter Female (car) <br /> • LexFUN <br /> • Michelson's Shoes (vehicle) <br /> • Middlesex Sheriff's Office Honor Guard <br /> • Dance Inn <br /> • US Submarine Veterans <br /> • Wagon Wheel Nursery (float) <br /> The Committee approved the applications of the following units involving fees: <br /> • 13'h Massachusetts Infantry <br /> • Boston Windjammers <br /> • His Majesty's 101h Regiment of Foot <br /> • Lexington Minute Men <br /> • Middlesex County Volunteers <br /> • Roma Band <br /> • Suburbanettes <br /> • New Liberty Jazz Band (trolley) <br /> • Reminisants Band (flatbed) <br /> • William Diamond Jr. Fife and Drum Corp <br />
