And now, onto the parade. Once everyone has arrived at the Capitol, before they're even settled in their temporary living quarters, everyone gets to work. There wasn't a moment to waste, between getting the tributes ready for presentation and then training for the Games, it seemed like the entire Capitol was in a flurry of constant motion. Escorts and mentors were taking their tributes to see their personal stylists, who will spent time developing the perfect look for each and every district representative. Most stylists go with a theme according to the district and its chosen industry (for example, District 1 manufactures luxury items, so the obvious theme is jewels and generally being really fancy), and incorporate that theme into the various outfits designed for the Tribute Parade.

When first entering the Training Center of the Capitol, tributes are required to enter via chariot in a parade, the point being to show the audience what to expect from the competitors of each district that year. Everyone in the Capitol comes out for this event, as it marks the first of many exciting things to come from this year's Games. Like the tribute's outfits, the chariots would be decorated in a similar theme according to which district they belonged to. The audience usually cheers for the chariots they liked and do nothing for the ones they did not. The chariot rides are very important because it's a chance for the tributes to make a good first impression on the citizens of the Capitol and potential sponsors, which can make the real difference between life and death in the Arena. A smile and a wave goes a long way, after all.

For each Hunger Games, it is required that the districts enter the parade in numerical order, starting with District 1 and finishing with District 12, as they are announced and presented to the Capitol. Each pair of tributes will show off their stylized look for the audience as well as for the Gamemakers and President Dashner, who will all be in attendance for thee parade. Each chariot will come to a stop in front of the President's seat where the President of Panem himself will make a short speech and welcome the tributes to the Capitol, as well as to officially launch this year's festivities. Happy Hunger Games!

[OOC note: Threads in this post will be separated by districts like the last one, but there's no initial posting order necessary so feel free to jump in as you see fit. Each thread will start out with the tributes and their stylists getting ready before moving on to the parade, which will be in a separate group subthread at the bottom for people to post to in district numerical order. There will also be a separate thread for the Capitol audience members to watch, enjoy and place bets. After every district has entered the center and been presented, there will be some time for people to mingle in the parade thread before everyone goes back to their rooms. Check the character roster if you need a reminder of where your characters are and who they're with! And don't feel rushed to jump straight into this. We're still getting through the training and reaping threads, so people are welcome to keep playing in those until they get to a place where they feel like they can move onto the parade portion of the day.]
