Greetings! This is the home thread on FFF.ner for the newly-formed 76th Independent Battalion. Our first official event will be the DragonCon parade in September of 2007.

Something to consider...we are NOT the entire marching presence of DragonCon...we represent a group of fans that have decided to get together, dress alike, and stick to rules and regulations we have created. You do NOT need to join us in order to march at DragonCon. Also, if you can't or won't stick to the rules and regulations, then the 76th may not be the right group for you.

We ARE NOT a re-enactment group, either. We are in this for the love of Firefly and as another way to spread the signal. We will NOT be recreating the battles of the Independents....sorry. Besides, what are we going to recreate...a few flashback scenes and some recollections around the dinner table? No, we are doing this for the enjoyment of creating a new section of the fandom.

The XO said it better than I did, so I'll use his words here:
Bottom line folks, we said in the beginning that we could not, and would not, please everyone. If you don't like the guidelines that are in place, don't join. March in the parade under the SEBC in whatever costume you want, but if you want to be a part of the 76th, you will follow the guidelines in place. That's the deal. Shiny?

As we now have a message board, I'll try not to take up too much space here.
http://76thbattalion.proboards59.com/index.cgi
(This board requires registration, and only members of the 76th will be aproved).
We are still accepting recruits, and it is not necessary to march in the first parade to be a member. Our home page is located here:
http://76thbattalion.homestead.com/index.html
And the application for membership can be found here:
http://76thbattalion.homestead.com/Application.html
Copy and paste this application into an email and send it to applications_76th at hotmail.com

All of the vital information can be found here:
http://76thbattalion.proboards59.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=di
splay&thread=1167336085

There are strict rules and regulations that all members of the 76th must adhere to, so if there is anything in that link you will have issue with, it's best not to join.

So, all information can now be found off-site, or if you are curious, you can read through the last few threads here on FFF to see what we are all about!

Thanks to all who have joined, and to all who may join!

Just as an addition to what Tristan's posted above.

As a costuming group, there will be rules about what we can and cannot wear. It isn't only the two people in charge who are deciding on these things. But please keep in mind that there are people who've been in the 76th from the beginning and some things about our costumes have already been decided upon. It isn't that we don't appreciate input or that we don't value other people's opinions.

This isn't the SCA or any other re-enactment group. All we are is a parade company. When we join, we're agreeing to gather together a costume according to the guidelines and march in a parade. Hopefully, we'll have fun doing it.

All the founders wanted to do was have a group of people all outfitted as Browncoats in a cohesive group in a parade. That is what they're assembling.

There isn't much more to this than that. Nothing complicated, nothing elaborate. Simple and to the point.

Posted an animated 76th Banner in the Blue Sun Room. Posting it here too for reference.



Meant to do this ages ago, so apologies for the delay. It's free for everyone to use wherever and whenever they want, so go spread the signal! (Although the non-animated banner is cooler looking and has more info, so you may want to stick with that one.)

Hmmm... my feminine intuition is giving me the feeling that you might just like the banner...

Glad you all approve! I just wish I could be there to march with you. Creating a banner seemed to be the least I could do.

I do like the non-animated one, though! A lot more polished and finished looking than my static banners.

Just as an update for those who are checking into this thread:

Our numbers are slowly rising. If you know of anyone who might be interested in joining, please contact Tristan at the top of this thread.

A reminder: The 76th Independent Battalion is not a re-enactment group or making a political statement. We are a costume group who want to make an appearance at the Dragon*Con parade.

If you are attending Dragon*Con, please stop by the SEBC table and say hello to us! The more people who show us their support, the more people might follow you over and check us out! People always gawk at places that are crowded to see what the big deal is. So even if you don't join us, please stop by and say hello!

If you are attending a convention in the near future or are planning on having a table of wares at a convention and would like to help out, please contact Tristan. There are flyers about the 76th that he can supply you with if you'd like to help us recruit.

More updates later. :)
