This party was particularly fun because we squashed the par-can / pin-spot bug immediately. In looking for new and interesting was to light swag we decided to go with American DJ H20 250 fixtures. They provided an interesting texture to light the banners against the ordinary textures of the banquet hall. On the left side of room a wide cove sported 4 American DJ Infernos. The fire theme was enhanced by stopping the color scroll on the H2Os on orange on the right side of the room. Budweiser has released a new line of wine coolers which needed to stand apart. The display was cross washed with an H2O on color scroll making the display very evident on the far side of the room.

The space of the room was accentuated with two Robe 575 Vision Scans and two Robe 250 Spots constantly scanning the room with Budweiser select gobos. Once the band started the two scanners and two Robe 250 Washes washed the stage with an overwhelming richness of color contrasting against the seeming monochromatic fire glow around the room. The audience loved the effect commenting that a touch of Vegas had come to Orangeburg.
