parade guest control leads

Post by americawestguy » Thu Aug 09, 2007 12:15 am

when i worked at the park in 97, 98.99, they had specific guest control leads for parades. they had blue pants, white shirt and tie. now i never see any of these at the parades. there are castmembers with radios in specific attraction costumes along the route. do they still have specific parade guest control leads? or do they come from their attraction, work the parade, and go back to the attraction?

It's still the same, they have leads JUST FOR parades and fireworks. They are now in attractions costume specific to the area. I remember the white shirt and blue pants back when I hired in.

They only utilize the Leads when they are short.

That white/blue/tie costume is generally used for special events nowadays, like if someone has to stand in front of a car someone could win for a whole grad nite, or there is filming going on that needs some GC. Unless something changed in the last year, Fantasmic GC leads wear it too.

You are correct, sir!! They are still doing that. Special Events, or Spevents we call it, and Fantasmic! GC leads wear them. They are refered to as "GC Lead costume" in costuming.
