Scott and Chuck- need a walkie on channel 3

Be at the gate at 10:15 waiting for the truck which should arrive at 10:45. At 10:55, make the siren go off and drive slowly between the stables, past friedman field, and park inbetween the soccer goal and the grandstand.  When ty thinks everyone is there, he will radio “phase water” when he says this, have the firetruck turn off its siren, and spray its water. When you see the blue truck approaching to the tug of war area, turn the water off. Bring a charged walkie. 

Jer, rick, and kat- need a walkie on channel 3

Be at the big garage by the parking lot at 10:30. Kat will drive and jeremy and rick will be in the back. Make sure the confetti does not blow out of its containers while you are driving. When Ty walkies “phase confetti”, kat will drive the truck between the stables and the rink and turn left on the dirt road. She will park where tug of war takes place. Once she is parked, the water on the firetruck will stop. When it stops, rick will turn the key and press the button while jeremy loads the confetti. Kat needs to bring her walkie. 

The button has to be held down. 

Set cannons to DMX (not “on”)

the cannons should be pointed at the soccer field 

Will- need a walkie and a lake walkie 

Be at the chalet at 10:15. All three pontoons should be anchored at the chalet by then. They all need to have gas and be equipped with a lake walkie talkie. The judges will arrive shortly after will. 

Michelle and ty- you need a walkie – channel 3 

  1. Be in the office waiting to board the golfcart at 10:45. Get in the golfcart at 10:54 and head to the soccer field.
  2. When the firetruck siren comes in, evaulate how many people are around it. When you think most of camp has arrived, say “phase water”.
  3. This will make the water on the firetruck go off. 
  4. When the water starts spraying, say “phase confetti”, this will prompt kat to drive in past the rink and stables and park at tug of war, and then the confetti will go off. 
  5. When the confetti has ended or the excitement has stalled, radio “phase smoke” and say “waterfront” repeatedly on the bullhorn. Drive down to the waterfront. 

Peter and wendy 

  1. Be casually at the waterfront at 10:45. 
  2. When you hear “phase smoke” switch the waterfront siren on
  3. Put smoke bomb at the end of the doc on the sand 
  4. Stand at the end of the docs to prevent people from coming on
  5. Once smoke has begun, wendy will say “phase boat”, this is when the boats come and head to the senior waterfront area. 

Dick: when ty says “phase smoke” turn the siren on in office. Tape above it
