When Darth Vader Showed up at Jason's Concert.....

My husband is an amazing musician and an incredible orchestra teacher.  This year, his Middle School Orchestra not only got one of the only superior ratings, but also took top honors, beating out high schools to take the overall award at the big music festival they went to.  
One of the songs that he played was the theme to Star Wars.  For the actual concert at the school, he decided to have some fun.  None of his kids knew what was going to happen and neither did the audience. 
When it was time to play, Jason walked out in a Jedi costume.  The kids were surprised and the audience loved it.  But that was only the beginning!!!
 He used some Jedi force on the audience for effect.....




 Then he told the audience that there were others at the concert that were coming......and in walked two Storm Troopers, A Snow Trooper and Darth Vader!  The audience went crazy!

 The orchestra kids were dying, as was the audience!  They played the theme and did a great job!






 Afterwards, they posed with anyone who wanted a picture with them....









 When was the last time you gave Darth Vader bunny ears?










 Now everyone knew why Mr. Day had been growing a beard for a week!






Savannah would have nothing to do with them until Darth Vader showed her his light saber and his mask and she could see his face.


They were amazing!  Rave reviews from parents and students!  Jason's only dilemma now is how to top that for next year!
