This beautiful fall afternoon my family and I went to Meymandi Concert Hall for a very special kids event: The North Carolina Symphony Young People’s Comcert The Music Of Star Wars. The iconic movie soundtrack that has now been around for 2 generations was the centerpiece of an afternoon of kid centric fun just in time for this Halloween weekend in Raleigh, NC !

The NCS Kids Young People’s Concerts are perfect for families and children ages 4-12 and a great introduction to the world of music. Each performance features fun, interactive activities related to the concert’s theme, beginning in Meymandi Concert Hall’s Swalin Lobby one hour before the concert. Here is a video of what to expect:

This performance was the first one in the 3 part Young People’s Concert Series for the 2016/17 season and because it was Star Wars themed guests got to take pictures with their favorite costumed Star Wars characters from the all-volunteer 501st Legion!
Make sure to arrive early for all the pre-concert activities, including face painting and our popular Instrument Zoo!

So get dressed up as your favorite Star Wars characters and join in the fun ! Get your tickets to 4pm Raleigh show today or tomorrow’s performance in Wilmington here !

We here at SobeSavvy.com can’t help but be excited for the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens ! We joined Storm troopers and Jedis from galaxies far and near in attending the Moe’s premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens 3D at North Carolina’s largest screen Marbles IMAX in downtown Raleigh on December 18, 2015 at 7:00pm!
Guests were asked to arrive at 6pm for a pre show Star Wars-themed dining experience which included games and prizes courtesy of Moe’s Southwest Grill! Costumes were welcomed and many movie goers donned their favorite Star Wars themed outfit.
BuyCostumes.com BuyCostumes.Com had this cool Boba Fett costume that I planned to wear but it arrived as I was leaving for the event!

So plan B was a screen tee from Sears ! I snagged these items for my husband and myself.
