Star Wars In Concert (Again!)

We couldn't let the month of May end without covering one more Star Wars event.
o
Derek and I saw Star Wars In Concert when it was in Los Angeles last fall... after touring Europe, it's back! Today we took the kids to see it in Ontario.
o
A short movie of the beginning of the concert. The Star Wars title and fanfare - it's always great. Even more so with a live symphony orchestra!!

o
But really, it's all about T-shirts. Derek bought the third one from the left.

o
I like this picture. Deacon and friend Jason look warily at some costumed fans.

o
Deacon, Maren, Jason and CHEWIE!

o
Jason, Deacon and Maren, thankfully not frozen like poor Captain Solo.

o
DCA and 3PO!

o
The kids are excited to see the concert. (And I can happily report that they were extremely attentive and well-behaved throughout!)

o
The host, Anthony Daniels, and his alter-ego - C-3PO!

o
Deacon is excited to add Mr. Daniels to his extensive list of Star Wars cast members he's seen in person.

o
Intermission.
o
Jason's a cool customer considering the violent explosion taking place behind him.
o
Maren and Daddy and a bear wearing a Star Wars In Concert T-shirt.

o
A few random pics from the show... posting this one, of the Space Slug, for Deacon.
o
I guess Harrison found out he couldn't get a seat near me this time, so he decided not to come.

o
It's neat how the film clips are accompanied by live shots of the orchestra.

o
The end! A rousing Inland Empire standing ovation for Mr. Daniels and the conductor guy!

o
Jason calls his mom... Mom... come get me! These Alffs are NUTS!

o
A fitting end to our month-long Star Wars fixation here on the AFB.
o
Still to come, as promised: Molly's 8th Grade Graduation and Deacon and Maren's Spring Concert!
o
Happy Memorial Day to everyone!
