Description of Event (Please share as much info as you can): Once a month the town of Kannapolis has Movies In The Park and this month they had a screening of The Force Awakens.

Well, the photographer did say to get up against the wall...

Looks like a good time!

Looked like a fun time. That Shadow Guard is pretty cool. Don't see too many of those around.

Had a blast an was a good event to be my first. An defiantely looking forward to the next events. I learned I need stuff to keep the fogging up of my lenses in my helmet from happening, lol. If it wouldn't have kept doing it I could have moved around more, lmao.

Sounds funny, but a simple method that I've tried that works is rubbing a coat of cheap foam shaving on the inside of the helmet. Let it sit for a few minutes and then wipe it off. I did it when I marched in Disney World for Star Wars Weekends and it seemed to help in that humidity. There are also some great anti-fog chemicals you can buy in store too.

Also, I assume your Guard helmet has a small gap below the lenses to help get the hot air out?

Looks like a fun troop. Great job everyone

No it doesn't have the gap but may adjust it to accomplish that. I'll try the foam shaving cream idea too an still get some chemicals to to back it up.
