The Bonnaroo Arch- the entrance into Centeroo!
Striking all 257 disco balls we hung!
"The Grove" where we hung over 100 lights in the trees and ran power from tree to tree in the air. We used Astera AX5s for wireless DMX control to avoid excess cable overhead!
The entrance of "Where in the Woods"- one of our biggest undertakings as the festival with tons of lights, disco balls, and a UFO shaped EDM stage!
Busking on MA2 for the EDM stage at "Where in the Woods" all the way until 5am every night!
