Here I am singing "Red 5" (to the tune of "Rawhide") during the break between the Presentation of Contestants and the Awarding of Prizes at my costume/cosplay contest at the Big Apple Comic Con on November 23, 2024.

Over the past few years, a paid sponsorship of the contest inluded judges who awarded prizes in addition to the usual "Applaus-O-Meter" process. This meant there was some "dead air time" in th emiddle of the event which I would usually fill with my band, The Death Star Repairmen." This time, however, that sponsor was not present, so we only needed to fill enough time for Cap Santiago to double check the order of the contestants' card to make sure they accurately reflected the applause of the audience. So I asked the audience whetehr they would rather sit in silence ot have a fun sing-along, and this was the result.

Big Apple Comic Con Costume/Cosplay Contest with Captain Zorikh 11/23/2024

Here is the first half of the video from my costume/cosplay contest at last month's Big Apple Comic Con at the New Yorker Hotel The video of the first few contestants got lost, but you can see them in the announcing of the winners and the photoshoot in the second half of the video.
In the past Few Years, Ultimate Wireless sponsored prizes and judged some winners in addition to the "Applause-O-Meter." This time they didnot, wich meant that there was not enough time for me to do two or three songs with the Death Star Repairmen. Instead, while Cap Santiago sorted the cards into the winning order, I led the audience in a sing-and-clap-along of "Red 5," a Star Wars song. That will be in Part 2 of this video, which will be posted in the next few days.
