Star Wars in Concert

In january I travelled to Oslo to attend Star Wars in Concert, where Oslo Philharmonic were visited by conductor Lucas Richman and performed music from all six Star Wars films.
I had my first troop outside Trondheim, and got to meet a lot of new people and had an awesome time.


The troop took place over the course of two days, and day one we met up early to rehearse a few things, mainly entering the theatre to the end of the imperial march, and escorting Vader up to the podium to deliver flowers to Richman at the end of the performance, both of which went great and were well recieved by the audience!

We mingled with the audience before and after the show, there was also a pause in the middle of the performace where we mingled with the audience, and on day one we caused the concert to get delayed because people couldn't get enough of us. :D

I found a random picture of me with a person I don't remember taking a picture with (there were a lot of pictures taken at the venue!), and I had a hard time recognizing it was me, as me and another trooper look almost identical, with the same armormaker and Centurion-grade build, but thanks to a small blob of glue on the coverstrip on the left thigh I managed to see it was me.
Edit: The person in the picture turns out to be Sara, who has later become a member of Nordic Garrison herself!




After the concert on the second and last day we went to a party at a long-time member and Star Wars-afficionado deluxe, I have never seen such a collection with my own eyes.
All in all a great troop, and fun to meet new people!
