We were contacted last year about providing a laser presentation for the Main Event at Bridge Point Elementary’s annual Science Day on January 28, 2011. We checked out the room proposed for the show the week before; it was a multi purpose auditorium, also used daily for the school lunch room. It looked perfect for a laser show! The sound system was actually quite good for a room like this.
The plan was for us to come in at 6 AM and be set up for the first of four shows at 8:45 AM. In the meantime, the students would be outside to see their principal fly in on a helicopter to kick off Science Day! Click on an image to see it larger –
We began each show with a short demonstration of reflection, and how you cannot see light until it reflects off of something. We then presented our short production of “How A Laser Show Works” in laser light, and then proceeded to bring the house down for the next 25 minutes with pop and patriotic hits.
This morning was a magnificent morning for lasers! We ended each show with a world premiere performance on pennywhistle by Tim Walsh, to the accompaniment of the sights and sounds of the lasers. Stay tuned…..
