Here is the rough draft of the performance:
Before any SW music is played, Band Director(BD) introduces newest member of his staff, in charge of quality control.
(MUSIC: Imperial March) Darth Vader(DV) comes on stage. BD turns band over to DV, exits stage. DV proceeds to tell band he finds their quality lacking. Band member objects, DV force-chokes him, then asks rest of band if DV has made himself clear. With a resounding "Sir, YES, Sir!" from the band, BD comes back onstage wearing black Sith/brown Jedi robe and red lightsaber, tells his "apprentice" that he has done well, to which DV replies,"Thank you, my master." DV then exits stage to Imperial March music.
BD then conducts SW music with lightsaber, Vader, Chewie, Stormtrooper come out on stage, various Jedi and Sith come out from side entrances, with lightsabers ablaze, to walk among crowd.
Finetuning to this draft will be done as we get closer to May 9th, but that is the rough outline of what will happen. Now I need a head count. Who will be there with me?

eh.....meh, ugh great, now I have to find a voicechanger that sounds somwhat like Vader! Will Vader have the mic? Would prerecorded Vader snippets be better?
The big problem is that the general public doesnt realize there is NO VOICECHANGER THAT SOUNDS LIKE VADER IN EXISTENCE! So there is no way anything I do will 1. Make the wearer sound like James Earl Jones 2. NOT sound muffled coming from inside the helmet.
I* can have a voicechanger (not the toy one) but keep those things in mind

Anyone hare have a beltpack PA? The headphone amp kind that for guitar? That would work as a voice amp and they have graphic EQ or pich control we can use to deepen the voice. I used to have one, I'd have to see if I still do. I've not seen it in 15 years.

Please keep in mind that we can always do it(Vader's voice) the George Lucas Way. Since nobody could see Prowse's lips moving under the mask, he could use JEJ's voice for Vader.
We could have someone offstage speaking Vader's lines for him, while Onstage Vader goes through the physical routines. So, again I ask, who does a good JEJ impression?
Or, if somebody is good with sound editing, we could POSSIBLY phrase the Band Director's dialog so that we could use snippets of Vader's voice from the films.

well i have a wireless mic, remember i had it on yoda at the zoo. its a headset so we would have to get it inside the helmet, or use it for the person offstage, whichever. it has about a 50 ft range and uses a 9volt battery in the mic (and i suck at JEJ impersonations lol)

I'll be in Tucson that day anyway since I have a friend going in the hospital that day for surgery. Jeannie, she came to a couple meetings with me, is having the pins taken out of her back. So, if all goes well after I see her, and can meet you guys there. I'll more than likely just wear one of my Jedi outifts, that way if I'm running late I don't have to try and get into armor.

Pins taken out? From a broken verteba (sp)? I hope she's OK.

No, not actually broken, taken out completely. The first surgery 2 years ago, the doctor removed the vertebrae, but failed to make sure it was properly supported. So that lead to the 2nd surgery, which they built a cage around that particular one with titanium screws. Now they think it'll be fine and help reduce her pain if they just take them out. My question is, does that heal, there doesn't seem to be any support left if they take them out, but I'm no doctor.
Oh, forgot to ask earlier, are they still wanting us to perform some sort of duel?

WOW, that's has to be tramatic, both physacal and emotionally. The human body can heal, you just have to be mindfull of it's condition. It's quite a amazing machine. As long as it's taken care of. Then again, I have parts in my neck and spine that was suposed to be "fixed" but never was and they have never healed. So I really don't know what I"m talking about. Just hopefull I guess.
Duel? no clue.

Thanks Dustin, I will.  And Jack, I'm up for a duel. So once we know who'll be there, maybe I can come the Sunday before ,and get together with everyone interested and work out something that will look cool. Mandalore and I have been doing some dueling down here so I'm getting some practice in.
I'd like to try and come up the Monday and Tuesday before, but classes are ending on those 2 days.

I will talk to the Band Director in the next couple of days and see if/how we could stage a duel in the auditorium. Part of the problem might be the orchestra will be playing the main theme and the love theme from AOTC. I'll keep people posted, but you are right. IF we have a duel, it WILL NEED TO BE CHOREOGRAPHED so nobody gets hurt.
