Troopers Cheer for Weird Al

June 10, 2008

Check out this great video of stormtroopers from the 501st Carolina Garrison practicing a cheerleading routine backstage at the Weird Al concert where they escorted the iconic nerdy singer on stage. The real cheerleaders didn’t show up to dance for Weird Al’s song “Smells Like Nirvana” so they were asked to fill in. Bring it on!

Also on that same tour, Weird Al asked another group from the 501st Legion — Empire City Garrison — to escort the singer on stage.

Anyone want to suggest a few cheers?

Who do we appreciate?
Vader! Vader!
Go Darth Vader!

    The 501st is already making plans with Al for the next tour. Props to the Carolina Garrison—birthplace of the Legion!
