Well when we were on our way to Philadelphia we drove up to
another civil war museum in Harrisburg. We were going to a little slice of
heaven for the night but here’s the problem with heaven you don’t if it’ll come
early or late. Well in my case it came early. So here’s how it started we are
driving and I’m typing a post when I see a billboard and start shouting at
Myles to look at it and I also grab mom’s phone and take a picture of it. Here it is
Poster of awesomeness!
Well now you know why I was so excited! I told everyone we had to go period. Ooh a period! Sorry I’m having a little too much fun writing this! Anyway I then called my dad to make him jealous and geek out with him. He agreed we had to go to it. So I compromised with mom that if we went to the civil war museum I could drag them to the star wars orchestra. I’m not really going to talk about the museum except that they had a life sized talking robotic programed program on a TV that you could ask questions. Back to star wars! Well I forgot that I was wearing my “A wookie ate my homework” shirt so I fit in perfectly except 75% were people over 80 (possibly season tickets?). There was a bunch of stormtroopers, some jedi, a luke from episode six, a sandtrooper (At the end of the performance he danced to the applause. He was a funny dancer! ;) Maybe a touch better than my dad) a jetpack trooper, C3PO, padame Amidala, jango fett, some awesome jawas (one was named zoey!) The darth lord himself (he was paw paw’s favorite!) and 9 foot tall wookie! I walked up to the wookie pointed at my shirt and said “You ate my homework! Thanks!” his answer was “Graww!”Which I believe is wookie for your welcome! Well they don’t play all star wars they also played Avatar, cocoon, back to the future, aliens and of course the other big sci-fi movie Star trek! Also another little fact trekies and star wars fans don’t get along to well. So what else would I do when I see someone all dressed up like the older star trek episodes? I shook my fist at him and said “Treky!” then walked away. Most people must get a very weird impression of me ~.~ ! The conductor was very good and before every song he’d tell you about his thoughts about the movie and the song. Like here’s his explanation for Avatar, “Dancing with wolves, IN SPACE!” When he (also He was a little bald) first walked some of the audience was a little sad because he was wearing a suit not a costume. His explanation was “Well I’ve got to retain a little self-respect!” He did a bunch of funny things, he was aghast that one of the main musicians hadn’t ever seen E.T so he made the guy help him reenact the last scene. At intermission he came back as Spock he explained “This is the end of our serious part of the program. This is a dream for me no not the part about being Spock. I’ve got hair!” when they got to star wars he made a joke and a Yoda voice came up “Make fun of star wars, you dare?” The conductor said “I’m sorry master Yoda!”
Yoda: “Maestro Yoda!”
Conductor: “I’m sorry Maestro Yoda I was just trying to be
funny”
Yoda: “Do not try!”
Conductor: “I’m sorry Maestro what can I do to apologize?”
Yoda: “Play my theme you will!”
Conductor: “I must save my orchestra!” (Runs of stage)
Vader: “Now you have no one left!”
Yoda: “There is another conductor!”
Kid (he was 12) comes out on stage and conducts the imperial
march while the conductor fought of stormtroopers and then defeater Vader with
his baton. After he did it he told the audience, “it’s a dream come true. My
son conducts the orchestra while I fight the enemies of all good!” He was
awesome! Wish we had a conductor like him in Eugene. L
