Set-Up
Duggee is talking to Eugine, the chipmunk I charge of the big parade. He is worried about it. He explains what a parade is for the Squirrels. People dress up and march along to the music. There are drummers and dancers and Eugine leads the procession. There is a lot to do and Eugine has lost his hat. The Squirrels want to help. First, they find a suitable hat. Eugine marches our to prepare.
The Squirrels would like to go to the parade too. Duggee runs off to put on his full marching band outfit. The Squirrels put on their hats and they follow Eugine. When they arrive Eugine is in low spirits. Naughty Monkey has been eating his costume and one of the elephants has a cold. Just when it can’t get any worse Eugine trips and hurts his leg. He cannot lead the parade. Duggee can help, he has his Big Parade Badge.
