SPECIAL NOTE:
Teams cannot direct fan group members to do any activities or be anywhere specific at any specific time – they may provide the groups with a list of activities to self-organize and participate in, but it is at fan group members’ own discretion. We strongly prefer that characters not throw out first pitches, participate in puck drops, sing the National Anthem, or things of that nature – if they want, fan group members may escort a child or fan to the mound, etc., but must not be directed to do so. Characters should not hold, wear, sit in or stand on any branded item or logo, especially with a team emblem. The fan groups are welcome to be photographed with others wearing the team logo/brands or in front of signage featuring the team logo/brand , however. We strongly suggest that teams provide a handler/security for costumed fans during activities to ensure the safety and security of said costumed fans, to protect them from overzealous game attendees.
Referred by: The Oakland A’s offer an open invite to costumed fan groups to attend their event this May 25. This is approved by Lucasfilm.
The A’s will only have space for 20 characters from all groups. As this is a spec ops event we will advise the A’s on character mix, but end of the day they will be the ones making the picks on what characters they want to appear.
Basically this is just to let you all know we may have more sign ups than space, so there is a chance not everyone will be picked.
As this is a high profile event please review the garrison standards and practices forum post: https://www.501stggg.com/forum/topic/golden-gate-garrison-standards-and-practices/

Hey all, at this point it looks like the A’s will have room for only 10 costumed characters. We have sent the list over for their choices on character mix.
They have said that all that are not picked are still welcome to come as handlers and enjoy the fireworks.
