ALL THREADS ARE NOW ABOUT THE ST. PAT'S PARADE!

We have a very limited time to prepare. This is a very important event. We Have much work to do, but it is within our grasp.
I need people committed to making this happen. respond to me here or on facebook, and COMMIT to doing this! So I can tell you where we need to be, and what we need to do.
Tyr, I want you to be a part of this, too. We'll find you a ride up to Rolla.

Things that need to be done by Saturday, March 13th (Day of the parade):
1. Crimson and green tabards for everyone marching who doesn't already have garb.
2. War Drum needs a new strap, and needs to get painted. Need a better drumstick for it, too.
3. Haven Banner and MO S&T Boffer Club Banner.
4. At least 10 people must commit to being there on Saturday, AND must go over how to parade march, and practice marching to a simple drum cadence.
5. Need kneepads for everyone who will be parade fighting.

PARADE FIGHTING?!?! I wanna go!

buuut i can't i'll be in Columbia on saturday,
BUT i wanna help so if anyone needs to borrow my knee pads or garb (and can't make your own in time) just let me know. also i'm up for loaning a sword or two if need be. let's make sure we look good out there!
i.e. good garb and pretty weapons

now im gonna go pout at not going >:/

I'll actually be in town if you want another

I'm actually really against doing this for personal reasons, so I'll help you guys prepare but I refuse to march. Sorry.

I'll help and march I suppose. You need to better explain what we'll be doing, however.

O.o uhh actually i might be back in BS that day , but if i can't make it i'll let you know, i can help you all march, i know how to quite well, and i have little garb, and no weapons..

really?? epic sunday practice? pweez everyone?

I'd love to fight w/ you guys that sunday.

Crux, if you're there saturday, do you think you could carry one of the Banners while we march?

This is basically what it will look like for those who are wondering:



The people in the middle will be fighting at about half speed (show fighting, not trying to beat each other fighting)
When one person dies, they will fall down dead, and then get back up again once the rear guard catches up to them. As they tire out, they will switch up with the people in the front, or the people in the back. One person will be carrying the drum, and beating out a cadence so we can stay in step. If we have more than 10 people, we can fill in the front and rear guards a little more, and have more than two people fighting.

Two of the people in the back will be carrying banners, one for Haven, and one for Boffer club.

Unless I'm needed somewhere else (people i'm visiting would have first dibs) I'll be up for flag holding, drum beating, slow fighting, slow dancing, whatever.

right now i'm on lockdown so until further notice i'm not allowed off base

what'd you do?

as it turns out I won't be down (Or at least it's highly unlikely), I got my weeks mixed up

well it might rain anyway too, another time perhaps

Hey Tyr, I saw the air force in the parade, but I didn't see you. how do they decide who gets to be in the parade and who doesn't?
