How to prepare for being in a parade...

Getting ready for the first parade tonight at 7:30 NY time, The Krewe
du Vieux (Doo?), (which apparently will be streamed live on WDSU probably here: http://www.wdsu.com/mardigras/index.html ), I ran
across the Krewe Dy Vieux's guide on how to prepare for the parade.
A good guide to the behind the scenes of how a Mardi Gras parade is done.
How would you corral 900 drunks?
