While this was primarily Rebel Legion and 501st (Alpha Base and Garrison Titan), there were 3 TJA members present.
We were asked to add excitement to a little boy's birthday party. He turned 5 and is a big Star Wars fan. His father is a major business player locally and philanthropist (No, it's not Bill Gates). The event was held at the Museum of Flight to which the parents are significant donors. In return for our presence, a donation was made to one of our local charities.
Since LFL said "no" to providing the Jedi Academy training, others were hired to do it. This was a specific request of the parents which we had to decline. Once the birthday boy had his Jedi training and was given his certificate of advancement to Jedi Knight, that was our cue to march in. We lined up around the stage while the cake was brought in and "Happy Birthday" was sung.
Then we mingled and posed for photos. Once the party dispersed, we had some of our own fun taking photos around the museum.
