We have received much support from Havana, which is amazing to see. Everyone in the area, even outside the Tallahassee area, knows about us, which is really exciting.

My experience has been that large displays like this usually become so very popular that you have to do just as you describe -- you know, get help from the city to keep things together.
Our neighbors are in support of it, and we even have our neighbor across the street joined into the show. They dug under our paved road to insert a PVC pipe for cat5 cable to be synched up with our show. Daniel programs both yards each year!
13 years is an amazing run to NOT be in the media for having a problem. Congrats!
Hopefully one year we'll get the whole street going! We'll see...
Do your neighbors decorate too?
I know I would be a lot more motivated to get my lights up if I had you close by
Yes, our neighbors get really festive too. The ones across the street have around 14,000 lights on their own property that they put up every year. And then we synchronize those lights alongside ours in the show.
Is there a process for music selection?
@Jeff Westover One day we could be neighbors!
Oh that's great. 14,000 lights is still a dang lot of lights!
We basically listen to Christmas music year-round and Daniel helps decide new songs each year. We aim at debuting at least one new dancing sequence each year.
I can't really tell from the photos...are you on a corner lot?
Computer programming is estimated to take on average 8 HOURS for 1 MINUTE of a song. So it's very time consuming, but very worth it to see the final product.
@Jeff Westover We're not really on a corner. We're technically the 3rd house on one side of our street.
YES! We had a local radio station in Tallahassee let us use their drone last year. It was incredible!!!
This might seem like a silly question....but do you have to progam it at night, out in the dark?
And they've offered to let us use it again this year, so we're really excited!
These are fabulous videos
