Daddy Daughter Dance 2012

Ever year Northland hosts the Daddy Daughter Dance.  It's a great event to help Fathers and Daughters to get closer.  Each year we have over 2000 people in attendance.  Every March we setup a temporary lighting system in the Foyer of our main building to transform the space.  In the past 2 years we have extended the event from into the Rink as well.  Each year's event has a theme.  The theme for this year was Underwater Waltz.  As you can see from below, it looks like you are dancing under the water.

The entire system in the foyer is a temporary setup.  This year we used 72 lekos and 18 pars for the ambiance lighting.  We also included LEDs, and par uplights through out the room.  Here is a picture of the balcony and some of the lighting we added.

This year, admittedly, we went a little over board with the DJ stage.  We used 12 SS cmys, and 80 Mega lights for the DJ stage.  We created a canopy of LEDS (Under the sea) and used the spots for energy near the dance floor.  The water like content we used on the LEDs looked amazing.

We tied in to the dimming system in the Sanctuary to power everything in the lobby.  A feat that used over 200 adapters through out the room.  Below is some setup pictures and the adapter bin.

 The pictures below don't do it justice.  Curtis was a mad scientist figuring out how to make the rigging work correctly.

We also made some changes in the Rink for the event.  We built truss towers with 1 Mac 250 wash and 3 Versabar LEDs each.

Below are a few more pictures of the event. 

Below is right before focus.  It was super bright, nearly like daylight before all the color was in.

Below is the view from FOH, well side stair well control corner i should say.

We had 3 carts like this pretty much full of fixtures.  The lobby is huge, you learn that very quickly trying to light it.
