The Sage of time, fatherly, wise, and spiritual, calls for the Great Millennium Walk to begin |
| Two drummers (one on each side) pound out the beat as the Millennium Clock turns. | |

Aztec Man - Primitive, precise, and angular |
| Bird Man - Majestic, tribal, and colorful | |
| |
Disk Man - Humorous, gangly, and charming |
| Hammered Man - Futuristic, agile, and strong | |
| |
Inverted Marionette - Toy-like, tender, and gentle |
| The Sprite - Feminine, shy, and fragile | |
| |
Wiggle Girl - Flirtatious, glamourous, and spontaneous |
| Angel Girl - Graceful, free, and beautiful | |
Hey, I didn''t make these names and descriptions up, it's in the commemorative program. ;)
The parade is really wonderful and the puppeteers work the crowd well, shaking 'hands' and dancing with the children. The music and drumming are hypnotic, pulling the whole package together. The first night I saw the procession it was followed by a group of CMs from all of Epcot's nations walking together.
An extraordinary performance, I'm going to see this one as often as I can.
Update:I saw Tapestry four more times in December and still can't get enough, it's that good.
