Christmas Eve Sarajevo - 2008 - Sallaway Christmas Lights

Our christmas light display for 2008: "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24" by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

The display is fully computer controlled and synchronized to music. We have over 70,000 lights, on almost 300 individually controllable channels. All the music synchronization is done by hand, and it takes about 10 hours per minute of music -- so this song took about 30 hours to do!

The music is played on speakers for viewers, but also broadcast over low-power FM (on 91.7 FM) so people can tune their car radios to it.

This year, we have decided to raise money for the Royal Children's Hospital Foundation, who work wonders for sick children. If you'd like to make a donation, visit http://www.workingwonders.com.au/ -- or if you come to see the show in person and have enjoyed the lights, pop any spare change you have in our collection tin! :-)

Thanks for watching. If you're in Brisbane and want to come see the show, you can find us on Childs Street, in Rochedale South - feel free to pop in and say Hi!
