I'm using an xsi with the kit lens. I was shooting on iso 800, all the way open aperture and underexposing so I could hit 1/20 shutter speed. I know how to use my camera though, it wasn't really that, I was just thinking any more general tips for parade photography.
I wasn't there in any official capacity, so on a parade with a defined route where there are barriers or caution tape or something like that, what can you really do? Everytime I got close I would get warned off by a cop. What I've noticed in both of the parades I photographed was that I got far better shots by wandering around in the area before the parade started, pretending I was supposed to be there.
I suppose assertiveness is always good, and I should be a little pushier.
