Topeka Light Show

So, Nalini heard about this amazing choreographed Christmas light show in Topeka on the radio and we decided to check it out.  Nalini captured the video below on her digital camera and I thought we should share.  It was a three song set and only lasted about fifteen minutes, but was truly inspiring.  What you are watching is the side of the church building.  Exciting right?  Just watch it.  Other than the narration, everything is performed live.  Each room has different performers who cannot hear the overall performance (Apparently, they take their cues from a click track).  The song in the video is We Three Kings mixed with Kashmir by Led Zeppelin.  They also performed What Child Is This by Third Day and Wizards in Winter by Trans-Siberian Orchestra.  The video is a little grainy and you are watching it through the road-salt soiled windshield of my car, but it still gives you a good idea of the performance.  As you can imagine, it was even better experienced live.  Anyway, enjoy the video.

Philip,
Thanks for sharing with us and the video. Last Year Aunt Pam and I accompanied some friend to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and it was excellent, we would and have recommended it to others. We missed the local event this year but will, God willing, make next year's show.
Tell Nalini she still remains an excellent photo journalist!
Pray all is well with you two and wish you both a very Merry Christmas.
Love Uncle Jim and Aunt Pam
