We are a late addition to the Highland parade. I don't have much info yet. Assuming its a smaller "float".
About how many beads do we need to get per person? How much money will that cost?
Any other tips or suggestions?

I live on the route of the Highland Parade. Always a good time.
I think you would need at least 2 sacks of beads plus a few dozen footballs, frisbees, stuffed animals, etc. Spend $250 or so.

I got the opportunity to ride in Gemini last year and the one thing I learned (which probably should have been common sense) is that you'll never have enough. I'm not sure how many beads are in whatever package you're looking to get, but I went through probably 800-1000 beads, not counting all the other fun things. I'd definitely go to Centaur and Gemini parades and gather as many of their beads as you possible can, cut down on your cost that way. Highland is an amazing parade to watch, I've never ridden in it, but I imagine the rules are more relaxed than Gemini...hell people throw hot dogs at Highland.
I guess my advice is to not blow your bead load at the beginning of the parade, make sure you ration your stuff. And don't forget to pause every once in a while and look around, it's an amazing experience.

I rode a float called Pawl Allen's mom last night.
