latest update and posting....we have been confirmed to appear in grand opening and also participate marching along with the float

here are some of observation on feb 12

this is the pavement all troopers are supposed to stand on...notice the grey line that is our standing position, there will be a video illustration to show how troopers are marching in.

Notice where paul stands , that grey concrete will be our line of standing

notice the height of paul's leg verses the curb..we been trying to resolve the issue of troopers stepping on it and we got the solution...

note where paul standing will be vader or emperor which is the first trooper follow by the gap in between meant for 2 royal guard, fatimah play and act as role of imperial officer , this is the space we want

imperial officer act and post by fatimah, note the concave between the box and stairs, there is where imperial officers must take the pivot point to be stationed, both right n left side are the same

Chingay grandstand at nite...notice the light are very strong, so visibility is no issue, and i tested with my helmet which was considered one of the worst visibility helmet becos of the bubble lens

where u saw me , just behind the stairs will be where the troopers are supposed to march in to the back of the stage and into cityhall premises for standdown and standby after the grandopen...our minders will behind the stage waiting for u...also there will be queue time master to lead us to the back stage

move to back of the stage - this is the left side facing the grand stand

beside the stage - this is left side facing grand stand

back of the stage - this is left side facing grand stand

this is the right side facing grandstand- side entrance to go to backstage

where fatimah points , is the back stage

Marching Videos

this is where imperial officers lead the way and march in

followup troopers using imperial officers as pivot point ( in this case is fatimah as example)

Looks good, guys. I will try to go down again later today to have look. Will also try to get Andrew to come since both of us will be the lead troopers.

Those who missed out on the 12th are strongly encouraged to come take a look later today. We're probably meeting directly at Padang/City Hall steps at 6pm later(13th Feb). I will post here if any changes in the timing.

Those of you who are going down today, IF it's convenient, try to bring your bucket along so that you can "see" what it'll be like.

I gotta work late again so I don't think I'll be able to join you guys unless it is 9pm plus. Seesh, story of my life.

To all participants,

from our recce on Wednesday evening, I've pieced together three panoramas to help you visualise the route along City Hall on Friday and Saturday:

HOLDING AREA:

VIEW OF CITY HALL STAGE AREA

MARCH ROUTE

Please click the thumbnails above to view the full size panoramas, especially the MARCH ROUTE.

When you're watching the >>Marching simulation SWF<< (slight revision towards the end when we're marching to our final positions, to be explained on Friday by command team) posted by Don one post up, do cross reference the SWF and the panorama to aid you visually.

======================

UPDATE: Here's a video showing the City Hall march route. Not the best thing but you get the idea (click the image below to watch the video):
