Ok guys, here is the scoop:

The Kingwood Symphony is having a Concert Friday May 22nd and Saturday May 23rd. It will similar to the Houston Symphony troop, just probably not as large scale though. They want any and all Star Wars Characters. I am waiting on details, but we will have dressing rooms, and I have requested access for handlers.

So please chime in if you think you can/will make this event. I will be posting more details as I get them.

UPDATE - 5/4/2009

The concert will feature a lengthy Star Wars medley and during the intermission be in the lobby for photo ops as well as after the concert.

We are trying to find out if there is a max number of "characters" the symphony will take.

The 501st was asked to join in to do a "skit" for the Kingwood Symphony during the Star Wars Medley the symphony played on the two nights. This was opened to the Rebel Legion as well as Jedi Assembly members but was only allowed a total of 10 characters per night ... even though we were only had 6 people each night.

Characters we had each night were:
1 TK (stormtrooper)
1 TD (sandtrooper)
1 ID (imperial officer)
1 X-Wing Pilot
1 Padawan (episode 1 "Anakin")
1 Jedi (myself)

Overall it was a great troop as we were pretty much given free reign to do whatever we wanted as far as the skit (just could not go on stage) as well as patrol the audience before the concert as well as the lobby & parking lot.

As a bonus we also got a donation from the symphony toward the American Cancer Society.
