The band at Concordia Lutheran School was in need of a little "Imperial" assistance with their annual spring concert. The theme of the evening was music from the movies including music from the Star Wars saga. We were asked to be the "Wow" factor for the evening and the mission was a success. The band director decided to keep our appearance a secret, keeping it from even the students in the band. We walked out during the Main Theme and it was obvious everyone was surprised, including the band, who missed a note or two with our arrival. Our troopers were gracious enough to stand to the sides of the stage to allow parents to see their children perform. As the saga came to an end, we made our departure as we were chased off by 3 lightsaber wielding band members. There was a 10 minute intermission so we returned to the stage area for photo ops. Great turn out and an easy troop.
A donation of $100 is being made to a charity of our choosing
Total time 2 1/2 hours-suit up to suit down

That surprise was probably the most fun....and a secret like that was probably really hard to keep...
What charity have you chosen as the recipient of your efforts?

due to the amount of troopers the original $100 was changed to a $300 donation to "On Stable Ground"
