Critique Requested

I need you help! This is my second year using LOR, however, it is my first year creating my own sequences from scratch. I must admit that sequencing from scatch is MUCH harder than it looks. I've spent countless hours throughout the year and I'm still not satisfied with where I am at. This year I have six controllers with approximately 13,000 white LED lights and 13,000 Blue LED lights.

Can you please watch the following videos of my show and let me know what you would do differently? Your feedback (positive or negative) would be much appreciated.

I like both of them. But on the Carol of the Bells you are giving away your tricks too soon (in my opinion). How I tried to do my sequences this year is like writing a paper (intro, body, conclusion).

I see nothing wrong with either one. I will tell you this, I'm on year four and my sequences from year 1 and 2, that I thought were wonderful, I now look at and ask myself how I could have put those in the show.

I always look back for year to year. I am on year four now. I took last year off due to and injury. I reworked my whole layout this year and started over. I agree with columbus 27. I try to start slow and build it keeps people attention and keeps it interesting.I have a lot of vides located on my website including Sarajevo. Go take a look. Other than that I think they are good. Don't stress just have fun.

Thanks everyone for your comments, it really helps to hear the feedback of others who have already been there done that. I was feeling a bit frustrated with my sequencing as I have nine new songs this year in my show and not a single sequence is completely done. I agree with your both of your comments on the Carol of the Bells sequencing - although I enjoy the "tricks" that I used in the song, it doesn't flow as smoothly as the sequencing does on Sarajevo. I like your idea of intro/body/conclusion in sequencing a song and will keep that in mind as I go along.
