Redforce[TK] Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) The 501st legion Empire City Garrison attended the “Night at the Movies†West Point band concert at the United States Military Academy base in West Point, New York on June 29th 2014. The West Point band performed a free concert at Trophy field which featured music from music from Star Wars, The Incredibles, James Bond, Pink Panther, Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T. and more. The show began with the 20th Century Fox theme and of course followed by the opening theme from Star Wars: A New Hope. At this time the stormtroopers of the Empire City Garrison entered the stage to give the crowd true imperial presence to accompany the legendary Star Wars theme. The concert ended with the mighty imperial march. The stormtroopers of the ECG took the stage again this time with Darth Vader. Our favorite sith lord dazzled the crowd by conducting the band and having a light saber battle with one of the US military’s finest! At the concerts end we stayed for photo ops with the band and the audience who attended the concert. We were thanked up and down by our contact at West Point. The band themselves couldn’t thank us enough they said. Everybody loved it. We were treated well as The West Point personnel where very hospitable towards us. We were provided with an entire building next to Trophy field for changing. It is always an honor for the ECG to attend events up at West Point as it is always smiles all around. ECG in attendance: Bob DeSimone SL-4703 Anthony Paladino TK-10666 Greg Lee TK-60918 Veronica Venturi TK-22122 Jonathan Diaz TK-16890 Russell Augello TK-4038 Video footage of the Imperial March/Vader light saber battle Edited July 19, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
