Taiwan 501on stage in Halloween Symphony Orchestra Concert

Post by Roy Starkiller » Mon Oct 30, 2006 4:08 am

_____________________________________________________________________

Equally at home with classical and contemporary music, American Erich Kunzel is considered a master conductor. The Chicago Tribune has titled him "The Prince of Pops." For this Halloween Party concert that will held on 10/27 and 10/28 at Taipei National Concert Hall, Kunzel has chosen themes and excerpts from a wide range of sources, classical, opera, musical to film.

One of the movie theme that will play by the Taiwan National Symphony Orchestra at that date is "Imperial March" (Darth Vader's Theme) from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. With this elegant theme, Taiwan 501st is invited to the concert.

The troopers of Taiwan 501st will not only entertain the audience outside the concert hall but will also march into the hall and stand right in front of the stage while the Empire most promising theme is played by the Orchestra.

One of the most exciting moment is Darth Vader will approach the conductor stand from backstage and have a lightsaber duel with Mr. Kunzel in front of the audience!

Roy, that is simply incredible!

I love the lady in white... I seem to remember that outfit from concept drawings of various costumes from the prequel... it looks impressive!

So you were Vader that night... hmm, somehow I think first impressions definitely last with me... so yeah, I think I prefer you in Sandtrooper too :)

Heehee...that will be Bail Organa's assistant Outfit, which was initially intended for Padme till they realized that she got to be pregnant in ROTS. ;)

She also make famous the fact that Flip-Flop Slippers exist in the Star Wars Universe :lol: (just like Arwen wore a "bathroom" slipper to her wedding)

Howh heng tai Roy Starkiller,

THANKS for sharing the pictures. They ROCK and from the looks of it, your
501st Taiwan Outpost members must really have had a GRAND TIME trooping on this event, esp. the GRAND VENUE. The venue reminds me of the Coruscant Opera house where George Lucas made his cameo appearnace as Baron Pappanoida! :wink:

The
501st MALAYSIA-BRUNEI OUTPOST will be sharing our pics after this coming Saturday's HALLOWEEN 2006 EVENT on 4 NOVEMBER 2006 as shown in this publicity poster : 8)
