Opinion Poll: Thriller... is it too soon to...

[Killer Katie]

He would be honored

I think michael jackson would be honored - what better way to celebrate his life, than to emmulate (sp?) his greatest selling album of all time and the first viideo of it's kind. i really don't see how anything would be in bad taste!
Go forth and you better post pictures!!

I agree with Katie. I think that he would really enjoy it and I don't believe it is to early.

As far as a hero.... I can't believe that was even brought up. As a vet... I can think of better canidates.

Do it!

I think it's a great idea! Michael Jackson contributed so much to the music/ pop culture of our country, so I think it would be a very "American" thing to do, as well as a tribute to a very talented man. And, well, it's Thriller - the crowd will go nuts!

Don't worry about the theme and whether MJ is a hero or not, 90% of your parade goers won't even know what the them is.

"When Farah Fawcett went to heaven, God asked her if there was anything she would like to wish for. She said she wished that all the little boys on earth would be safe. Next thing you know Michael Jackson's in heaven."

the parade was a blast!

I will post some more pics and video this week. That was probably the most cost effective way to get ourselves in front of 15-25k people. Granted, it was mostly people outside of our target market... however... those kids 6-10 are the customers of the future. Thanks for the thoughts generated behind this post.

Thriller, new pics, and 1st place!

Thanks for your advice. My wife and I debated the thriller topic for days... your votes of confidence helped us make a final decision on thriller. We had 9 characters perform an abridged version of thriller... and it was a crowd pleaser. I can't wait to put together something for next year.

Below are some more pics from the 4th.
