Amazing Christmas Can Can Light Show
Music director and teacher Tom BetGeorge has taken Christmas light videos to a whole new level with this year’s set up. 100,000 lights wired through 12,500 channels, 8 pro grade light pods on the roof, a 17’guitar with a full LED display on the neck, a lighted 19′ piano and one crazy electric bill. The first show is set to “Christmas Can Can” by Straight No Chaser and makes the song even more entertaining than it already was
