i cant wait to see it in person, hopefully tomorrow.

The new song that I added last night will have more of the synchronization completed each night until finished. It's kind of interesting, because if you come each night, you'll see more and more of it completed and go through a refining stage. The lights are programed to 5/100 of a second to ensure very accurate precise actuation. But doing it to this resolution significantly adds to the programming complexity. I think it results in a higher quality show though.

Very awesome job, Mark! And excellent song choice. Searching around Utube, I'd hafta say your creation is the best I've seen. I would love to drive by to see your light show for 2008-- is it up already?

[markbbelgen]

Yup, lights went on Dec 1. Go off after midnight Jan 1, 08

That is the most AWE inspiring home lighting shows I have ever experienced! Who needs to pay Disneyland 63.00 to experience a holiday light show! Next year, fireworks and flares should be added... hahahaha

We got the lightning strikes in the form of Shooting Stars, but due to technical difficulties the snow won't happen till next year. Fire went out of the design after the serious Forest Fires that we had recently. We did double the lights which we are going to double again for 2008.

Dear Mark,

I was wondering what those strobe lights are in between the two garages are at around :27 and near peaks of the song. Thanks!

I would like to know too. I've heard an orchestra play this live. I'm not sure if it's a version that was written for orchestra originally, or if someone took it from somewhere and decided to orchestrate it.

[BeautifulDeathMeri]

this is the first time I've hear this version other than the radio

very impressive. i liked how many songs were used, rather than just one or two

[horkalaska]

Nice changes this year Mark. I am in Arkansas, just opened a roller skating rink there. Didnt get to see the show in person this year, but my sister has been there a few times to see the changes. She said she heard my voice on the radio, how exciting! excellent job! Im psyched to see what happens next year!
