Comic Con at the Symphony

One of Marina’s birthday presents from me is tickets to Comic Con this summer. Tonight, the symphony had a salute to Comic Con concert. Marina was excited to check it out. She wore her sailor costume from Halloween but this time she was Sailor Moon.

We arrived early for the show. There was plenty to keep us occupied. We found a large group of cosplayers in Star Wars costumes. Of course, Marina wanted to have her picture taken with them. We found the Comic Con table where we each posed for a picture in front of their green screen and learned more about the show. Marina also spotted a group of people dressed at the Avengers. She quickly went over to compliment them on their costumes.


Our seats were very close to the stage and we were happy when we recognized the conductor. We had enjoyed watching him during Peter and the Wolf, so we were happy to see him again. He came out dressed as Jack Skellington. Later on in the show, she changed into a Tyrannosaurus Rex costume. He conducted the theme from Jurassic Park dressed that way. It was so funny! After intermission, the conductor came out dressed as Harry Potter and he changed into a Chewbacca costume for the final two pieces from Star Wars.

We were fortunate to catch our train quickly after the concert. We were both very tired on the trip home.
