This is EXACTLY the post I was looking for...

I have TK armor that I got about 5 years ago.
I need help so as not to mess it up.

Pelzer, South Carolina
about 15 minutes from Greenville, South Carolina off I-385 near Simpsonville.
I have a lot of garage space and could handle as many as would like to come.
I would like to do any weekend soon.

I had a great time. Good trooping with an enthusiastic group of troopers.
Great to meet you all.

This Event was on Friday night. It was for the Greater Anderson Musical Arts (GAMAC) Orchestra. We did an outdoor event for them several years ago.
At one time we had three troopers for this event. One cancelled, one did not show.
During the Star Wars suite, specifically the Emperors march, I marched down the Right aisle way. The lights brightened as people began to realize who was there.
I stood at the bottom of the stairs observed the crowd, then ascended the stairs and stood next to the screen. The screen was showing amazing HD time lapse video of planetariums as stars were racing by.
Near the end of the song, I marched across the stage, thanked (waved to) the Orchestra and left the stage at the end of the song.

I waited in the lobby for intermission, then took photos with the people there.
It would have been great to have more characters to send during the various songs.

Featuring Gustav Holst’s groundbreaking masterpiece The Planets accompanied by a spectacular film produced by Emmy award nominated astronomer and visual artist, Dr. Jose Francisco Salgado, this event is made possible with special arrangement from KV 265. Continuing the intergalactic theme, the evening will also include John William’s beloved Star Wars Suite .

English composer Gustav Holst’s The Planets, Op. 32, is a seven-movement orchestral suite written between 1914 and 1916. Each movement of the suite is named after a planet of the solar system and its corresponding astrological character as defined by Holst. GAMAC’s performance of this masterpiece will combine science and music with Holst’s score and spectacular film footage of the solar system from NASA and the European Space Agency as well as historical illustrations. Taking audiences on a journey through outer space to each planet, the Sun and beyond, this Science & Symphony film is renowned for its finely tuned choreography with the music which creates a stunning artistic experience. As film creator Dr. Jose Francisco Salgado explains, “The film is not intended to be seen as a documentary, but rather as an art piece that aims to inspire and encourage audiences to learn more about our solar system and the Universe. It serves as a synthesis of what humans have achieved as space explorers.”

This program is made by special arrangement with KV 265, a non-profit organization with a mission to communicate science through art to communities throughout the United States and abroad. Under Dr. Salgado’s leadership as executive director, the organization seeks to heighten appreciation and understanding of visual art, music, science and technology while inspiring deeper engagement in the arts through multimedia concerts, lectures and educational workshops. KV 265’s Science & Symphony films have been presented in more than 100 performances reaching 250,000 people worldwide.

In keeping with the evening’s theme, GAMAC Orchestra conductor, Alex Spainhour has paired Holst’s work with John Williams’ iconic Star Wars Suite. Featuring music from the beloved films, audiences are sure to recognize Darth Vader’s Theme, Princess Leia’s Theme and Yoda’s Theme along with other highlights from the film scores. “With Star Wars VII- The Force Awakens opening in theatres in December, we thought this would be the perfect time to celebrate these wonderful characters in concert,” said Spainhour. “This entire performance is perfect for families and a chance to let the imagination soar,” he said.

To purchase tickets to Science & Symphony: The Planets please call the GAMAC office at (864) 231-6147. Prices are $20 for adults and $10 for children. Seating is by general admission. While tickets will be sold at the door, advance reservations are advised. This program is made possible with generous sponsorship from The Duke Energy Foundation, Mr. & Mrs. Harold Gilbert, Mr. & Mrs. Glenn Gurley, Ms. Margaret C. Herndon, Mr. & Mrs. John Miller and Mr. & Mrs. Robert Rainey. Additional support is provided in part by the South Carolina Arts Commission which receives support in part from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Pssst.... How do you post photos????

Step 4 only gives me one option "CA Global". There is not one that says Albums. Help!

Wow!
Had an Awesome time!
You usually don't see a church go all out like this. It was was Star Wars EVERYTHING!
July 15 - 18th for 4K-5th grade. Powdersville, SC.
We were asked to troop on their final closing night. I didn't know what to expect, but the members and production team left no stone unturned. They had a full Vader outfit and Chewbacca suit (just not 7+ feet tall), They had Yoda and other troopers (not official).
The story rallied around a Trooper named "Thomas". There was even a Yoda V. Vader lightsaber duel.

They believe they will have it (the same lesson) next year.
Maybe we can do a Sunday appearance to kick it off and do the Final night again.
I will find the dates. It was an easy local troop. I even got to do a stage appearance. You've got to see these shirts...
