Fifty students from each school would participate in the parade along with the RHTYSC members, parents and well wishers of Guyana’s leading youth and sports Organisation.

Asst RHTYSC Secretary and CEO, Simon Naidu, who would serve as the Parade Director, stated that the event would start at Belvedere and the proceed to the end of Rose Hall Town before turning back to the compound of the township’s Primary School for a Funday. The Guyana Police Force is expected to provide security, while the parade would be accompanied by a music set and Steelband along the route. Each school received a financial grant from the organisers and sponsors to assist them to prepare for the parade. The cricket teams would be part of the parade and would display their silver ware and promote the different message via banners and placards.
A three-man judge’s panel would select the best school on parade based on size of participation, promotion of messages, choreography and uniformity. Naidu stated the club’s cricketers would use the opportunity to encourage the students in the parade to stay in school and complete their educational background. The club and its cricketers also expressed gratitude to the Management of the Guyana Beverage Company for their continued investment into the club’s activities. Special mention was made of CEO Samuel Arjoon, Marketing Manager Raymond Govindha and Berbice Manager Albert Budhoo for their cooperation in making the parade a reality.
