National Day Parade 2022

Date: 2022-05-17
Location: Trondheim
Type: Parade
Costume: Stormtrooper

My third parade in Trondheim. It was so nice to drive down and meet all of the fellow troopers again!

Our wardrobe and base of operation this year was Comfort Park Hotel. Huge thanks to them for lending us a conference room.

Before the parade we did a quick visit to Birralee International School just around the corner, greeting the kids and wishing them a happy May 17th. And then we walked over to the line-up for the parade.

I had almost forgotten how amazingly awesome it is to march down the streets of this lovely city while hearing huge crowds of onlookers gasps when they see us and then cheering and applauding, all while the marching band plays John Williams.

I attended as Stormtrooper and was one of the flag carrier leading our procession.
