Hey all,

Some Chingay Stage pics I got during lunch...

Hope this helps somehow...

Stay safe,

Tim.

Thanks Tim. That helps a lot with visualising it.

I'm still trying to visualize how we're gonna exit.

Thanks for posting Tim!

In this pic, there's a lamp post directly in the path where troopers are suppose to form a line

Also, does the width of the stage area seem wide enough to accomodate 15 persons on each side? Looking at the square tiles on the floor, assuming each person occupies around two squares tiles (for Vader/Emperor/Royal Guards group, probably three square tiles due to their cloaks) while leaving an adjacent tile empty for spacing. Look at the pic below to see how big each tile is in relation to the man at the crossing:

Also, note from the photo above that we have to walk up the curb by the road to reach the stage area (unless our final positions are along the road). Could possibly pose problems...

no need to worry my young trooper, we all have been thru tonnes of events and to be frank the best way is just to be receptive to any changes on the spot, anticipating what is gonna to happen usually ends with disappointment

this is also the reason i m going down to see for myself and try to give all of u as many visual and videos as possible.

Only one request i have for all of u in the contingent, please follow the marching steps...and obey the command from the commanding staffs...

I'll probably head down to the site to familiarise myself with the environment too.

You don't have to if you are either not free or too far away... is ok.

They need to ascertain our position and brief us on Friday when we gather in PA.
