Intriguing architecture, perfect October weather, and Beatles music – this was an evening to remember! When the North Richland Hills Parks and Recreation Department contacted me about doing a show here, I did not see an opportunity to use the building itself as a projection screen.

North Carolina State Fair 2016, Raleigh, NC
The North Carolina State Fair found Laser Spectacles when the Agricultural Commissioner decided that the lake and its fountain could use a laser light show element. We placed a high power RGB laser on each side of the lake, and flanked each one with a smaller RGB laser to spread out the laser show. Four…

Northplace Church, Fall Festival, Sachse, TX Oct. 28, 2016
Laser Spectacles was contacted by Northplace Church around one week ahead of time, when it looked as if the normal fireworks shows was cancelled. On short notice, we put together a great laser show from our library, of pop tunes, Star Wars tunes, and a spiritual finale “New Doxology”. The main church building had a…
