Queens & Knights Chair: Adam Koncki, (636) 352-5949, ajkndt@mst.edu

St. Pats at S&T is a tradition that has existed for over 100 years. As such, it is important that organizations do their part to help preserve and further one of Missouri’s longest running St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. The honor of being nominated as either a student Queen or Knight is one of the most important parts of that tradition. Organizations will receive 50 points for nominating a Queen candidate and 30 points for nominating a student Knight. Knights who are inducted into the Order of the Snake will be worth an additional 20 points. The criteria for induction will be given to Knights as a part of their informational sessions. No extra points will be awarded for your organization’s queen candidate winning the queen’s crown or placing as a runner-up. The due date for nominating a Queen or Knight will be November 29, 2018. 

Although late nominations will be considered, it is strongly encouraged that nominations and payment be turned in by that time. All Queens and Knights will be required to attend the coronation ceremony held on Friday, March 15, 2019 at 9:00 PM in Leach Theater in order to earn points.

Over the years as nominations have grown, and space on the stage is limited, we’ve had to eliminate other parts of the ceremony. To resolve this and uphold the traditions, this year the candidates will have an allocated section of seats. The winning candidates will be called onto the stage during the ceremony. Participation in various events will be considered for positions. None of these events will be mandatory, but it is important that you participate and represent your organization at these different functions. For those that will not be on stage, there will still be reserved seating in front of the theatre and will still be honored during the ceremony.

The week of St. Pat's requires a tremendous amount of effort on the part of the St. Pat’s Board, and is only made possible through your organization’s continued membership and involvement in St. Pat's. As such, we will be awarding 50 points to any organization per active member on the St. Pat’s Board (baby, junior, senior rep) during the week of St. Pat's, with a limit of 100 points possible. Active members of the St. Pat’s Board are not eligible to compete in all events. If there are any questions about what active members can participate in contact Wade Hawks at wmhmn2@mst.edu.

Points Breakdown:

♣ Knight                                                       30 points

o (Order of the Snake)          20 points

♣ Queen                                                        50 points

♣ St. Pat's representative                    50 points for each active rep (maximum of 2)

If you are interested in joining St. Pat's or know somebody who may be interested in representing your organization, please contact our recruitment chair, John Schweer, he can be reached at jmshxf@mst.edu.

 

250+ Max Points
Float/Parade Chair: Adam McTigue, (314) 580-4661, amm825@mst.edu

The St. Pats Parade takes place on Saturday, March 16^th , 2019 at 11 am on Pine Street in Downtown Rolla. In order to be eligible for reimbursements and receive points for Float and Parade a float or non-float must be entered, approved, and paraded down Pine Street.

To enter a float or non-float each organization must first submit their (non-)float concept/title to Adam McTigue, either during the scheduled float sign ups Friday, February 4th, 2019 or after by email. More information will be sent out about the float sign ups when it gets closer. The concept/title must be in adherence to the 2019 theme “St. Pats in Middle Earth”. In the case of two or more organizations entering the same concept, it will be decided on a first come first served basis, however, float concepts will have preference over non-float concepts. Once the concept is approved organizations must submit an entry form by Friday, February 8^th, 2019. Once the entry form is turned in and approved, your organization will be sent information regarding line-ups and other day of parade information. In order for a float to be entered and approved it must meet the following criteria:

• Maximum dimensions for float: 13 feet high (ground to highest point), 15 feet wide, and any length.
• Floats must denote the float title, the organization name, and the University’s name (Missouri University of Science and Technology). This can be in a sign or poster carried by people preceding the float. The Float must also have room on the pulling vehicle for a number to be taped for easier judging.
• A pair of boards must be attached to either side of the tow vehicle on which appropriate advertising will be displayed in a clear and legible fashion. St. Pats will supply the advertising boards with dimensions of 4 ft. high and 8 ft. long.
• If the float fails (falls apart or becomes immobile) during the parade, the organization will not be eligible for points or reimbursements.
• There shall be no people on the float itself with the exception of the queen’s float.
• There shall be no alcohol on the float.
• There shall be no co-floats.
• If a member of the organization is convicted of any infraction of Rolla City ordinances during the parade, the organization will not be eligible for points or reimbursements.

While in the parade the floats will be judged by distinguished members of the Missouri S&T and Rolla community. They will use the following criteria to judge the floats:

• Originality
• Workmanship
• General Effect
• Adherence to the theme, parade route, starting time
• A moving part is not required but will be looked highly upon by the judges.

Your organization can be refunded up to $200 for expenses needed to build your float. In order to receive your refund you must return your parade boards that we will assign to each float in the same condition you received them and you must return your judging number sign. Also, you must turn in any receipts for expenses you would like reimbursed. If there is anything not relating to your float on the receipt, we cannot refund it. Everything required for your refund must be turned in by Saturday March 23^rd, 2019. In addition there will be a $50 deposit that all organizations are required to pay to be in the parade. Once the parade has passed, the organizations that participated in will be fully refunded for the deposit. The due date for the deposit is Friday February 15th , 2019. All deposits must be turned into Adam McTigue. (Make checks out to the St. Pat’s Board)

Organizations will receive one free parade t-shirt for every truck that they bring to the parade, to help carry parade boards. The St. Pat’s Board will provide parade board mounts. An organization can only receive a max of 4 t-shirts (four trucks). Trucks must show up to the parade the same time as the floats. If we do not need the trucks to help out, your organization will still get the t-shirt for showing up. To get the t-shirt, you must check in with Adam McTigue. More information will be sent out on where the trucks will meet before the parade.

The organization with the first place float will have the option to build the next year’s Queens’ Float. If all the criteria are met for the Queens’ Float that organization will automatically be awarded 200 points. If the Queen Float places 1^st, 2^nd, or 3^rd it will be worth additional points. If the Queens Float receives 1^st place, it will instead be awarded 200 points. If the Queens Float receives 2^nd place, it will be awarded 230 points, and a 3^rd place Queens Float will be awarded 190 points. Last year, first place float was awarded to Kappa Sigma, so they have the option to build the 2019 Queens’ Float.

Organizations who decide not to build a float have the option of participating in the Parade by entering a non-float. The non-float must adhere to the theme and be approved by Adam McTigue. The non-float will not be judged and will only be awarded the non-float points. The point breakdown will be as follows:

1st place – 200 points

2nd place - 180 points

3rd place - 160 points

Float Participation - 140 points

Non-Float Participation - 100 points
