2009 Display

Preparations

The 2009 Display went live on Saturday following Thanksgiving. The theme for this year is "Candy Cane Land". We added 2 more Light-O-Rama controllers this year. This makes a total of 96 channels. In addition to the sequenced channels, the static elements are controlled by 5 separate 15 amp timers. The number of lights is now at 43,400.

The Mega Tree is built on a new base from Christmas Light Show. It contains 22,700 lights. The tree can transition between white, red and green. It also includes a 6 foot cross, a nativity and a 3 dimensional star topper.

Strobes are back and a Peppermint fence defines the space. Gumdrops, miditrees (taller than minitrees) and light poles outline the yard.

The newest feature this year is the animated North Pole.

Playlist

The playlist for the 2009 show has been set. Most of the songs return from last year. Wizards in Winter is replaced by The Mizer Brothers song. Sequencing is a good bit more challenging with 96 channels. The following is the play list.
