Is that the approximate "real time" your 501st Legion will march past the TV cameras?
I can't tell from the TV listing if ABC will tape delay and edit their coverage;
or just put on an hour's worth of whatever is marching past.
Maybe you guys can get a "local" to make a recording of the Detroit TV coverage.
And is Kia gearing up and marching?
You guys have **PHUNN** ... we'll try to *wave* at ya!

Thanks everyone!
Our local Garrison Commander, Jon, and Dave, who helped organize the event, were interviewed this weekend. The video shows a lot of past event footage. It turned out very nice.

This isn't my first parade in costume, but it's my first with the Trooper armor.

I saw a commerical for it on the local CBS station that'll be airing it from 9-Noon.
I'm not sure about up there. You'd have to check your local listings. (Or channel surf for commercials
*edit*
Here's a PDF for a listing of stations. It's alphabetical by state.
