Spring Parade
This year's Spring parade has a marching band, pairs of dancers, a float of jugglers, a dozen circus clowns, a Girl Scout troop, a Boy Scout troop, and a championship football team.
Read the description of each group carefully and decide how many are in each group and in what order they marched in the parade.
The marching band was not the leader, but their 6 rows of 4 musicians in each row were near the front, just ahead of the Girl Scouts.
The football team had 2 fewer marchers than the Girl Scouts, and took their time signing autographs as they marched at the end.

The 3 pairs of dancers were between the Boy Scouts and the football team.
The Boy Scouts had 5 rows of 3 marchers and the Girl Scouts had twice as many.
