The conductor of the Urbana Pops contacted me about this event months ago. I caled him on the phone, and being a SW fan, he was really excited that we would be there.
We had to climb steps back and forth to the dressing room, someone turned off the elevator that night. Other than that, the troop went well. We surprised a lot of people when they entered. We had a few troops outside, but I (Vader) was waiting at the top of the steps. We mostly trooped out in the lobby, but also made an appearance in the auditorium during The Imperial March and the Throne Room and End Credits. Ryan also menaced the crowd during Duel of the Fates. After the show we took many pictures with the conductor and the musicians. I hope we get to do it again sometime.
