My song is one long file (30 mins) made up of 3 shorter songs edited together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ENTIRE project for me cost $15. As soon as I finish up some tests, (When I get time to test), I will take some photos and get them up on here. Oh, and reasonable distance is 2-3 houses down.--Daniel L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Shelby Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Dale, You must know Pastor Hagan Jr.. I have a few CD's from Rhema Singers and Band. Also the "Higher" CD by Eugene Gregory. It's very very hard to program anything praise and worship Pentecostal. If you could keep an ear out PLEASE let me know if you could find something for next year. I had a really hard time finding music this year, people said they would help and NO one came through but you guys. The biggest problem is I can't edit, so I must depend on short songs or preedited songs. With next year being bigger I really need the help.

DavBro Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Just worked out my final schedule last night. Running every 30 minutes, with each show lasting 18 minutes (I live on a cul-de-sac, so this give traffic time to move in/out).Intro (1:15)Queen of the Winter Night (TSO)All Is Well (Michael W. Smith)Promotion for Local Charity (0:45)Carol of the Bells (David Foster)Christmas Eve Sarajevo (TSO)Wizards in Winter (TSO)This was the approximate timeline we had last year as well and it worked out pretty well. Short enough so that people in line wouldn't get impatient and leave before seeing the show.DavBro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpooler Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I have 15 songs in my first year but for me it's not necessarily the number of songs but the playing time. Those fifteen songs run around 55 minutes, I then have about 5 minutes of lights on before the show starts again the next hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Hamilton Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Here is a link to my Show songs and order...http://magiclightshow.com/2007_shows.htmFrom comments last year I learned that our attendees generally fall into one of two groups... "acid heads" and "old foggies".... well at least that is what my son calls them. some people don't like the rock music and think it is not appropriate for Christmas and other folks think that classic songs are too boring.Sooooo, this year (as you will see from my page) we have alternate nights of rock music and classic music, but on the weekend we run both shows. It is interesting to see from the crowd that I can determine which show is playing by looking at them. Parents with young kids and older people seem to come on the "classic" night, and teenagers come on the rock night. Shows have played only a few nights but the response to this layout has been better than I hoped. People like the split.Also, I only have about 30 minutes of songs on each night because I want to keep the traffic moving. Last year I had about a one hour show and that was much too long.We also have an intro to explain parking suggestions and a little information. Each song is announced before it starts, and at the end of the show is where we give the thank you and beg for charity donations ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
