Soulart[TK] Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 As you know, I love our Prides. For many many reasons. 1. I love supporting anyone in need. Children. Women. Those with cancer. Those suffering depression. Anyone. Regardless of race, color, religion, gender, creed, social status or sexual orientation. My ability to love and support has no limit or conditions. 2. The joy. Happiness. Coming together to support one another. And accept each other for who we all are. Straight or gay. Black or white. 3. The colours!!!!!!! Oh my gosh the colours! Vibrant! Happy! Bright! Full of light and beauty. Stunning. 4. We must come together to silence the monsters such as hate, fear and discrimination. With love, understanding and acceptance. In all things. 5. Our Garrison always works so hard to be sure we represent ourselves, and our Legion in the best light we possibly can. The dedication is commendable and so appreciated. So much pride and love for one another. And acceptance. 6. Can you imagine the deafening screams and cheering from thousands upon thousands of people all smiling and jumping up and down as they see their most loved characters marching in unison looking like they just walked off the movie set???? Decked out in all the glorious colours of the rainbow???? The entire parade they screamed for us. It’s actually unbelievable!!!!!! I honestly invite you all to walk with us next year and experience this phenomenon. It will take you by surprise. I promise you. My face hurt from smiling, and more than once I shed tears of pride for all we are and all we do. * I worked madly sewing this year for my garrison family to create more Pride pieces for us to look tasteful yet stay true to our characters. From Rainbow Brite gaskets, glitter rainbow pauldrons to strategically placed glitter vinyl. My family looked amazing. Each worked hard to be certain their costumes were ready. Some drove 5.5 hours to be there. Some drove 3. We gathered at my Brother Peters (our CO) to sew, and armor build prior as we had 3 members needing help to be approved. All 10 of us worked together to get them finished and submitted so Pride day could be their anniversary. I am proud to say, our Garrison gained another ANH Stunt, TK Commander and an ESB Vader the morning of Pride. And they marched with us along side of our Rebel and Saber Guild Family as their first troop. Exciting, beautiful moments. I love these moments, and each of the humans I shared them with. With a happy heart, Teresa TK 41307/SoulArt Badlands Garrison Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrates[TK] Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 As always, and without any doubt a beautiful write up my TK Twin. It was truly another phenomenal experience to have enjoyed and shared with everyone. From doing 3 on site approvals, seeing the excitement in our Pride Triplets, then all of the energy that transferred it’s way into such a freakin mint parade. This troop definitely made it’s place into one of the best events we’ve had this year - and the deafening crowd was truly epic in it’s own. I have to echo your words too - that anyone and everyone that can make it to this event - you will be welcomed with open arms and 110% Pure Cosmic Imperial Power!!! Kudos, my bucket off, a bow to you Teresa, and thank you for sharing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timberwoof[TK] Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 How long is your parade route? How did you manage logistics for costume bins? I'm looking for ideas on how we can make this work for Golden Gate Garrison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulart[TK] Posted July 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Parade was 8-9 city blocks. We were fortunate enough to have a members house a couple blocks away from the staging area. You could rent a U Haul and have someone park it near your staging area where you can have kits in and get dressed in stages etc. Just depends how your parade works etc. Id be happy to answer any and all questions you may have I’m excited for your garrison and members!

Those that joined in for their first time this year were blown away by the response we were greeted with. I’d love us all to troop this one together! If you ever are this way during pride, please please join us Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
