Arcadia Maps & Directions
|
Updated 11/14/2010
We hope to see all Shamrock Regiment parents, boosters & friends in
Arcadia. The maps & directions you will find below were
written by parents who have attended this event in the past.
Everything is subject to change, but what you find here is based on
several years' experience. The Arcadia Band Review is considered
the premier and final event of the marching
season. Here is where we get to show off all the hard work we
have done all season. Hope to see you there!
How to get to Arcadia... Take 605 North and the 210 West.
Exit on Baldwin (comes after Santa Anita). At the end of the
offramp, you will be at Foothill Blvd. To take Baldwin Ave.
South, you will need to turn right on Foothill, and then about a block
later turn right on Baldwin.
After you pass the Arboretum and entrances to the Santa Anita Race
Track, you will soon see the shopping center (Westfield Shoppingtown
Santa
Anita) on
your left. If parking in the mall, you will want to park as far
south as you can. The bands are going to be forming up in the
race track parking lot just to the east of the mall parking lot.
The two parking lots are separated by a fence. To get from one
parking lot to the other you need to use the sidewalk on the north side
of Huntington Drive. Parking at the mall is a good idea because
you will be as near as possible to where the band is preparing for the
parade, you will be right there at the beginning of the parade and this
is where the band is coming back after the parade. The only thing
is, if you follow the band through the parade, you may have to walk
several blocks back here from the end of the parade.
When the band moves out,
they will move to the southwest corner of the race track parking lot
and then go out onto Huntington Drive near La Cadena Avenue. They
will proceed west along the center of the street next to the grassy
median with traffic moving next to them on the right. They will
stop and wait for the light at Huntington and Baldwin and when directed
to cross they will proceed south on Baldwin. This is where the
parade begins.
The parade will proceed
south on Baldwin then east on Duarte Road. At the end of the
parade, the band will continue on to the busses. In the past, the
busses have been somewhere between Lovell, Leroy, Holly and Camino Real
Avenues. Unless you came with the band on the bus, you will need
to walk back to your vehicle. You might want to plan ahead and
park somewhere in this area before the parade and walk back to where
the band is forming up before the parade begins. Just be aware
that some of these streets may be blocked off and you may need to park
south of Camino Real or east of Holly. We usually go back the way
we came, walking the parade route backwards, so we can see some of the
bands which follow Kennedy in the parade.
