10/17/15 Elgin Symphony Orchestra

The Elgin Symphony Orchestra was having a Music of Science Fiction performance. The show ended with 6 songs from the Star Wars saga, and they thought it would be fun to have us there to help. We agreed.

We were there when the doors open to great theater goers before the show. We came out again at the intermission. But the coolest part of all was when we went on stage for Duel of the Fates. It was an amazing performance of an amazing piece of music. The crowd loved it. After that, we left the stage, and went back to the lobby to say goodbye to the patrons.

Not only did kids and parents love us as usual, but the response we got from the senior citizens in attendance was very surprising. They really enjoyed us being there. I was told by a season ticket holder that this was the first time he ever saw the head usher smile. Ever. Thats pretty cool.

All in all, the troop was about 2 hours. We had 6 troopers. 12 Trooping Hours.

The Symphony donated $125 to the American Cancer Society in our name for our appearance.
