Roch, NY Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra John Williams Concert - Nov 26th

Chris,
Count Lisa and I in for 2. Thanks-


BTW if anyone needs a lift we have room in the Van.

 

So far Strawbary & TX4277 are the only ones that I think mentioned the possibility of needing tickets for non-costumers, but I'm not sure of a count.

That will work for now. They asked us to appear, not sell tickets for them.

Is the list of attendees updated? I will take the list with me and tell them what costumes will be there.

 

*moved volunteer list further down the thread*

 

Thanks!

 

Well some co-workers ordered their tix and had no issue with the group rates... woohoo. They also got the program for the night. Which is:

Olympic Fanfare and Theme
Raiders March
The Lost World/Jurassic Park
Angela's Ashes Theme
Dry Your Tears Afrika
The Cowboys Overture
Adventures on Earth
March from Superman

INTERMISSION

Star Wars Suite for Orchestra Main Theme
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Duel of the Fates
Across the Stars from Star Wars: Episode II
Battle of the Heroes from Star Wars: Episode III
Star Wars Suite for Orchestra: Princess Leia's Theme, The Imperial March, Yoda's Theme
Parade of the Ewoks
Star Wars Suite for Orchestra Throne Room and End Titles

 

Wouldn't it be cool to to have Daria go out as Leia ANH then do a quick change & come out as Ewok Village Leia

 

That would be possible. We won't have a Leia coming from Buffalo.

 

Dammit! None of these scores from SW really goes with my Luke Jedi garb... maybe I'll go for Tatooine Luke after all. Nothing really goes with that outfit though either, do they? Too bad I haven't a Throne Room (Ceremonial) Luke jacket and pants... And now that I see the "Raiders March" on the program, I'm thinking of breaking out the Indy again...

We would have to see what the timing is between the 2 pieces But I will see if she's up for it

 

If the time is tight and I end up going, I could always bring my Leia as well. That'd really throw 'em off. LOL

 

MadKidJedi I think your Indy would be a most excellent addition for this concert! The Indy music is being played during the first half so you would have time to change into Anakin for the 2nd half.

Everyone make sure to check out the Buffalo thread for an update posted today by BobaChris.

The conductor wants to be able to do a dry run of the performance with anyone taking part, especially ones that will be on stage. They may ask for us to arrive earlier than 6pm to rehearse. Would this be a problem?

I figured we might be able to arrive early, rehearse, then grab something to eat before the show.


I will know more when the conductor arrives in Buffalo on 11/22.

 

I don't foresee a problem with getting there earlier. I think all of us have off that day.
For myself, I would just need to know exactly when (and after the 22nd is fine) so that I can set-up the babysitter appropriately.

~Doc_Bev

 

I am working on getting all of the details and times finalized asap so that everyone can make the proper arrangements.

 

yeah, finding out the times would be helpful...darth maul is a 2 1/2 hour makeup job so i gotta know when to start applying.

 

Diane may be interested too.

 

MadKidJedi have you decided what you're doing costume wise for this yet?
They have both a Tatooine Luke & PADV...
They don't have an Indy, but I don't know if you want to do that for the whole evening.

~Doc_Bev

 

I told the BPO about Dean's Indy costume, but they didn't seem too interested. If anything changes, I'll let you know.

 

I guess I could still work up that Luke ROTJ outfit. Don't lack much to make it complete; just boots, a flap for the tunic, a vest (can you say thrift store?), and a quickie belt I can probably find at home...

 

*moved list to page 4*

Also, let's get the whole carpool/caravan planning rolling...
Basing plans on BobaChris12's post of 11/16 that we need to arrive at 6pm, let's meet at Tinseltown at 4pm. That gives us 1 hr and a 1/2 for drive time (mapquest says 1 hr 20 mins) and a 1/2 hour to use getting loaded up in the cars at Tinseltown, get lost finding the place once we get there and/or grabbing a snack in Buffalo.

Making the assumption that we will not have dinner until after the concert concert - everyone make sure to either have a big lunch and/or to bring some munchies for the car ride out there.

~Doc_Bev

 

Ayka's out.
I remember he told me yesterday that he is unable to go because he is working.

 

Just a heads up... I hear there's supposed to be a fair amount of snow starting tonight through Saturday evening. For those driving in the caravan make sure you're prepared w/ snow brushes and anything else you might need for winter driving.

EDIT: TX4277 if you could bring your walkie-talkies that would be cool.

We have room for 2 more plus gear in our car as the car seat will be gone from the back of the Avalon. Also, we have the babysitter set-up through Sunday morning so we're planning on staying after the concert - if folks decide to go out afterwards.

~Doc_Bev

 

Roger, walkies.

 

The very soonest we could be to tinseltown is 4:30 as I get out of the mall at 4 & will have to before we leave come pick up Daria so we'll have to bring up the rear.
