This past Sat we went up to DL for the taping of the Disneyland Christmas Day Parade and the New Years segment for Dick Clark's New Years Countdown. The filming lasted all weekend, but the part we wanted to see was Sat afternoon.
They had the traffic super controlled and you were only allowed to go down Main Street on one side. We got lucky with a spot to watch some of the float filming.
And to see Nick Cannon eating a Dole Whip before he had to play host again. haha...
One of the floats we saw. A performance of Jingle Bell Rock by China from Disney channels Ant Farm with the Old Navy dancers.
Phineas and Ferb heading down to preform...
Confetti!
This is what we came for. One Republic was going to be there to preform their new song 'Good Life', which Disney is using in their current campaign. I LOVE this song, I'm hooked on it! I've been wanting to put it to a video from a trip or something...I'll get around to it. : )
One Republic is kind of an inside joke/sentimental love kind of band for us. A couple years ago when we spent that week driving all over Europe, all they played on the radio was One Republic...and one song in particular was extra funny for our trip, and always seemed to come on and an extra humors time for us.
Soooo, long story short, we thought it would pretty darn fun to go see the band live that became such a big part of a trip that is so very dear to us!
Here we are waiting toward the front of a very long line to get in!
(I took this in a float that was passing by)
Once we got in, we got a GREAT place by the stage!
The directors doing crowd sound checks and looking for staff members...
Us and the band in the back!
Nick Cannon among us announcing the band...
A little video clip of the performance. You can almost hear just how loud the crowd was, but in person, it was SO much louder! They had to do the song about 4 times, so they could get all the shots and angles they needed.
Oh, and we are in this video! : )
Sing it crowd!
After all the filming was over!
We figure we'll at least see our heads in a crowd shot or something. : )
It was so much fun to be apart of, we loved it!
Keep an eye out for us on Christmas day!
Being an extra is hard work, and we needed some grub to refuel!! : )
It was SUCH a great day!!!
