Parade Preparation

We are participating in the Lilac Festival Parade here in Calgary, Alberta. I was simply wondering what should be done to a robot in terms of driving in a parade. Are there any tricks for going on pavement, how about for battery usage? The robot will be driving for about 12 blocks. If it helps, we use a 6 CIM belt drive with 4 inch Colsons and 6 wheels. The clearance for the wheels to the chassis is only 0.5 inches.

Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.
