A parade lines up once. Get the morning right.
Karsenics takes a parade from the first contingent registration to the moment the last unit steps off: lanes, staging lengths, the locked order, the signs, and the check-in at the gate.
Built for the committees behind Pride parades, cultural and heritage parades, holiday parades, homecoming parades, and the marches that share a route with a festival.
Parade morning is arithmetic done in the cold.
Every parade organizer knows the version of this morning where the spreadsheet is wrong. The float that was listed at 40 feet is 90. The lane that looked full has room, and the one that looked open does not. These are the moments Karsenics was built to take off your plate.
- Contingents register on a form, then email changes that never make it into the lineup
- Staging length and moving length are the same number on paper and different on the street
- A lane gets overfilled and the renumbering starts an hour before step-off
- Signs and staging instructions are typed the night before from a separate list
- Marshals at the gate work from a printout that was already out of date at 5:30 AM
The parts of Karsenics a parade leans on.
Every capability is on the platform. These are the ones a parade committee opens every week.
The lineup board, the week before.
Every lane shows the footage used and the footage open. Units that still need a place sit on the right until they have one. This is the same board the signs print from.
