Legoland 2011 – Day 2
3 June 2011 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Friday, June 3, 2011 * A new day – Shows – Training
A little tired but still in a good mood, we arrived at Legoland at 9:00.
Before the park opened at 10:00, we tidied up the booth from the day before a bit, rearranged the sabers and all the other exhibits properly, so that the first visitors that day could find our booth in all its glory.
Just like on Thursday, our performances that day took place at 13:00, 14:30 and 16:00.
After getting through the morning well, we went to the arena after a quick lunch to dress up as Jedi and Sith for our performance. When we entered the arena after a rousing speech from Tim, we were very happy to see that the seats for our shows in the Legoland arena were once again completely filled, just like the day before, and at all three shows.
With double the motivation, we fought our way across the stage, let our sabers spin and earned big applause.
Since it was the weekend, we expected big crowds throughout the park, and so it was. After each of our shows we had a long line in front of our booth. Often the booth had to be fully staffed, because so many questions came in at once.
Only with difficulty could we split up into small groups in between to go eat something or explore the rest of the park.
As the day drew to a close, we were all quite tired, so this time, for once, we didn't give a spontaneous show in the park's entrance area. Another reason for this was a huge AT-AT set up there that took up a lot of space.
That suited us quite well, because the music for our backup program for Sunday still had to be edited, since one of our team members unfortunately had to leave on Saturday evening. So after the park closed, we dragged ourselves back to the arena to rehearse and record our backup program.
As we strolled through the park toward the exit after a training session that was less successful than we had hoped, we met the first members of the German Garrison and the R2 Builders, who were just setting up their booth. Since we know a few people in these groups, we took the time for a short chat and then brought our sabers back to the booth. It was already bustling there too: booths were being set up, greetings and first impressions exchanged. Since we were tired and a bit irritable after this long day, we made ourselves scarce pretty quickly, but were already looking forward to the coming weekend, since we were no longer the only fan group and therefore didn't feel so alone anymore.
After finally leaving the park at around 21:00 and driving back to our guesthouse, we let the day end comfortably and told each other about our impressions of the day.
