We have been extremely busy the past 3 weeks with Mardi Gras parades and a visit on Lundi Gras to New Orleans Children's Hospital

We made our custom beads again.
Each troop had about 15-20 troopers
No celebs this year
3 members from the Star Garrison participated with us
Memorable moments.. It was COLD... And Little Rascals fell behind and we ended up sprinting the last 2 miles. And the damage to the float after Caesar and Zeus.

The float is plywood, Styrofoam and is shaped with sheetrock mud. Painted gray and black with some "blaster damage" in various places. It also sways if driven over 10 miles per hour (very scary).

The smiles from the children were all worth it.

I've always wondered, how do I join the 501st, always wanted to but with my military career it's been difficult.
