Jaynee Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I think I've finally figured out my 2018 song list for this year's show. I deliberately picked a lot of short songs so that the entire show clocks in at about an hour, but has a lot of songs. But MAN do I have a lot of work to do because I haven't even STARTED yet and it's almost August!!! Fortunately, I've only got 64 channels compared to some of you folks, and half of these only need UPDATES to add in the two new controllers (the rest of the song programming will likely remain the same). I think it's a nice mix of singing, instrumental and a few comedy bits. Stuff for kids (Frozen, Polar Express, Alvin & Chipmunks) and adults alike: Pixar Intro UPDATE 0:00:30 CLIPSanta I Just Want You - Haley Reinhart BRAND NEW 0:01:20 VOCALChristmas Treat - guys from Saturday Night Live UPDATE 0:02:15 VOCAL/COMEDYI Miss You, Christmas - Train BRAND NEW 0:02:13 VOCALJingle Bells - Michael W.

Since I got home from work tonight I've been updating my visualizer with all the new props I'll be using this year, as well as moving some controller assignments around so everything is grouped more effectively. Now comes the hard part: programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaynee Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Ugh...programming sort of came to a halt last night. I thought my three new (to me) arches were six channels each - but they are actually 8 channels each - and I don't have the six extra channels I need! He told me to program as though they were four channels each, but I'm loathe to have to reprogram them AGAIN once I have the full 24 channels I need next year. So I've told my husband I want to see what the pricing is on the summer sale and possibly pick up another controller, even though we can't really afford one since I bought two in the spring sale already. But I don't want to program anythine since I won't know until late August whether I'm programming 4 channels each or 8 channels each. ARG!!!

I share all for free, you just have to purchase the music. Since you are creating these sequences feel free to PM me a list with the Album/ Singer/ Title and I will sequence them per your song so they will align with what you have. James and I have already produced some of the songs on your list. I do faces James does everything else. Christmas Don't Be Late Man with a Bag There may be others I simply cant remember but I know James can.

Jaynee Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 So excited! Programming is BACK ON. I know I'll be able to get a controller in the summer sale! I recently did a freelance job and submitted my invoice - they sent me TWICE the amount I quoted with a note saying thank you for all my work and that they felt I should be paid more!!! That additional $$ will cover most of the cost of the controller!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That additional $$ will cover most of the cost of the controller!!! Always good to earn extra money. Even better when someone appreciates all the hard work and effort that goes into work. Been a couple great stories in the news here in my area in the past few weeks about people down and out going the extra mile to get and keep their job. 1- 23 year olds car broke down the night prior to him starting his new job. He walked 23 miles and withing a few miles from his job the police picked him up and after hearing his story took him to bfast and then to the job site. 2- High School grad worked his complete shift at a fast food place. Didn't tell his boss about graduation. He didn't receive his diploma. After hearing the story his school held a special graduation ceremony , yesterday.

k6ccc Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Back to the original subject. This was my 2017 song list: Song title Artist Wizards In Winter Trans Siberian Orchestra Christmas Cannon Trans Siberian Orchestra You're a Mean one Mr. Grinch Burl Ives Jingle Bells Barry Manilow with Expose' Hark! The Harold Angles Sing Lake Ave. Church Organ & Orchestra God Bless the USA The American Patriots Deck the Halls Mannheim Steamroller Carol of the Bells (Christmas Eve / Sarajeva 12/24) Trans Siberian Orchestra Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer Gene Autry All I Want for Christmas is You Mariah carey Feliz Navidad Jose Feliciano The Hanukkah Song Elliot Dvorin Soldier's Silent Night Father Ted Berndt I'm using MIIP so people watching can pick the songs. For 2018, I expect that the songs will not be changing because I am spending all my time adding props, so massive re-sequencing just to get the new stuff added. I'm adding: Two singing Christmas trees - JR will be sending me the sequences for these - THANK YOU! Six Coro Candy Canes (these have been in most of the sequences for a couple years, just not built) 24 string Mega-tree with each string having RGB dumb nodes + AC mult-color string Rebuild 12 x 50 pixel tree to become 24 x 100 pixel tree Replace two dumb RGB Tune To signs with a P5 and a P10 matrix All told, about 61,000 additional channels...
