This will be the sign-up list for people that want to be involved with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for 2011. First let me state this is not going to be a confirmed event since I have to have the paperwork sent in for it and other information taken care of before April 1st that's the deadline to have the paperwork in by. Now that that is said I will state the general rules. Costumes that can be approved are molded, vac-formed and some pepakura types.
1. Molded Armor can be Muckle castings or other types of molded armor.
2. Pepakura armor can be accepted if it is High-Def Armor or appears that it is High-Def armor. I have seen amazing suits on here that were Low-Def but people made them look high-def by doing alterations.
3. Vac-Formed armor is acceptable such as armor like Sean Bradleys ODST kits or Vrogys Marine armor. Rubies does not count.
4. Foam armor such as EVA Foam and Foam-It suits are acceptable as long as they are good quality.
ODSTs, Halo Marines, Spartans from all Halo Games, and anyone with a good Covie suit is welcome to submit a suit to my e-mail for approval.
I have a complete list of casters, pep builders, and people that do the vac-forming. I am currently waiting to hear back from the Macy's Parade people on the thoughts about weapon props if they will have to stay at your waist or attached to your armor like how the Chief has his AR on his back. There is also a possibility of no weapon props at all. I'm also going to be getting in touch with people for having at least one Mongoose, one Warthog, and one Banshee but these are only possibilitys that the people that own them would be intrested in having them in the parade. I suggest everyone intrested get in touch with people in your area to see if they would be intrested in carpooling and involving armor builds
In order to have your suit approved first send a photo of your completed costume to me before one week prior to April 1st, to Cylonproject2000@Yahoo.com all photos will be sent in with the paperwork, it does not need to have a background photoshopped but if you want to do that feel free. Second post here to let me know you wish to be involved even if it's posting to say that you are doing a WIP and will be sending your photo to me after you are done with it. Once I have your photo and if it is good enough you will be added to the list here. Third if any problem arises that you cannot participate in it contact me ASAP so I can make changes. Do not make any travel preparations until after the application for the parade has been approved, I will also say there is a chance of not being in the parade as some groups don't make the cut for it but I will be in contact with the parade commitee as much as possible to keep this updated. I am also in contact with areas close to the parade involving parade practice the day before if we get approved. If you have any questions please feel free to direct them to my e-mail. I think I have covered everything in this but if I have missed anything this can be edited and information added at a later time. You also have to think next year 10 days before the parade will be the 10 Year Anniversary of the first Halo game which started it all back on Nov 15th 2001, so hopefully that gives us bonus points with the Parade Commitee.
