Robin Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 You guys do know that the more songs you have the longer the people will stay and this can create a problem with traffic.So here is my list:Christmas VacationPorky PPig Blue ChristmasWhite Christmas DriftersYellow SnowSmall WorldArmed Forces Medley Performed by the Air Force BandRockin Around the Christmas Tree Cyndi LauperI Want a Hippotomus for ChristmasRight now I have five finished.I have voice overs throughout the show with reminders and song introductions. The songs amount to about 27 minutes. This means the show will repeat about eight times on week nights and ten on weekends.If I have time may do one more song.Oh so you know there are three coro projects two of which sing two different songs. One of those have four different singers. The third coro project hast two characters who introduce a song or two and ask for donations to our charity they also go over a few rules from time to time.

jpohio Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Wow! So many of you have so many songs done, I'm almost ashamed to even add what I have. I have no musical talent at all, so it takes me forever to sequence. For my 1st year, with 40 channels.....1) THX intro2) Wizards In Winter - TSO3) Midnight Clear - TSO4) It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year - Andy Williams5) Rockin Around the Christmas Tree - Brenda Lee6) White Christmas - Bing Crosby7) A Mad Russians Christmas - TSOJust over 16 minutes, and the voiceover messages add about another minute or so.

Poor poor, pitiful me Is this your 1st year?I want to do Carol of the Bells, and I actually have started sequencing it, but I'm not satisfied with what I have done, so it kind of got shoved to the back burner.

TraceWilson Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Nope, second year with LOR. You can catch a video of last year's Carol of the Bells hereIf you search on "dm9991966" you can take a look at the other 2 videos from last Halloween and Christmas as well.Trace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passerby's won't know that there is suppose to music, they will just think you have a great display by the way your lights dance! Keep an eye out on ebay for a transmitter...you might get lucky!

Robin Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 James, try it with over 400 channels.Of course about 50 of them are pretty much static channels but the rest are moving.I like to direct attention to a specific aspect of the display during the song. So other items will be fading or about half intensity. My goal is for people to see all areas but still concentrate on the feature items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather just watch the lights. I have blown my budget big time this year and will do the music next year. Music for me isnt that important.Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Noe Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Wow, I don't know how you guys do it. Last year, I had 5 songs not counting intros and between song music. I was thinking of cutting it back to 3 this year to thin out traffic a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
