Statement on Stormtroopers appearance: The Lone Star Wind Orchestra is saddened to hear that Disney has placed a new restriction in effect denying professional cosplay artists to attend and be featured at symphonic concerts around the world including our concert. Unfortunately, this means we will not have our local chapter of Stormtroopers and Darth Vader visiting us. We will still have exciting movie trailers and great film music of John Williams (including Star Wars) performed on June 11th. Join us!
