3. No political signs of any kind may be part of the band's entry.

7. The Stampede Parade Committee will withhold any payment due to any band if Rule #5 above is violated (forward motion).
8. The Greeley Independence Stampede does not allow any chaperones to march with the band in the televised coverage area, which is on 10th Avenue from 19th Street to Cranford Place.
