G's dance studio was asked to participate in a Christmas parade at the reveal of Extreme Makeover Home Edition's newest house. The episode will air Dec 12th with Mariah Carey as the special guest star.
We had to arrive at 11am to get the girls on their float and have the float at the staging area at 11:45. Then the moms joined the rest of the crowd to wait
The first time the parade passed we had a silent parade. The girls danced to no music. The marching band looked like it was playing but no sound was coming out. The crowd clapped silently. Then we waited...
Second take...
G's company was asked with the cheerleaders and one other float to stay for a third take. Rumor had it that Mariah Carey was supposed to pick one of the two remaining floats to ride to the house on. However, one of the staff members told us that she would not be riding on a float because it would give the onlookers an opportunity to take her picture. Apparently she has a personal photographer that does all her pictures. Even the crew and volunteers were not allowed picture with her when she was on set.
She stayed in her white van until the very last minute.
But Michael came out to greet the crowd...
And Ty ran by to give everyone high fives...
Take 3 of the parade...
The family arrives...
Move that bus...
It was an interesting thing to see and G enjoyed it. I could believe we where there for 7 hours to shoot one, very short, parade. Knowing how long it took to film it will be interesting see how much of it makes it too the final show.
