Applications for Presidential Inaugural Parade deadline fast approaching

WASHINGTON – With the U.S. presidential election decided, the deadline for groups to apply to the Joint Task Force – National Capital Region to participate in the Presidential Inaugural Parade is fast approaching.

All interested groups should use the online application process, including civic organizations, marching bands and community organizations, by Nov. 16. No hardcopy materials will be accepted.

Requests for participation should be submitted at www.2013InaugurationParade.mil. The website allows interested parties to access additional information about the parade and view detailed instructions for completing and submitting their packet materials.
