HOLIDAY LIGHT SHOWS
Jack has worked on and created a variety of holiday light shows. These are light shows that blink colorful Christmas lights to music. In 2016, when Jack was working in Juniata College’s Technolgoy Solution Center as a Student Web Programmer, he played a major role in setting up and running Juniata’s holiday light show, as well as sequencing the lights to blink with music using the software Vixen. He would repeat this again in 2017 for Juniata College and in 2023 set up a show for Bethany Church in Greenland, New Hampshire.

Jack would get his first experience with light shows when he was a sophomore in college while working for Juniata College’s Technology Solution Center. Jack played a major role in setting up the light structures and sequenced two songs that were performed on Juniata College’s Brumbaugh Academic Center.

Juniata College Holiday Light Show 2017
The following year, Jack would again work with the Technology Solution Center to set up the Juniata College holiday light show. He would resume his role in helping set up the structures and sequenced three songs, which were this time performed on Juniata College’s von Liebeg Center for Science.
Bethany Church Christmas Light Show 2023
A few years after Jack had graduated from Juniata College, he would go on to start a light show of his own. This one would be featured on Bethany Church in Greenland, New Hampshire. Jack was able to create singing faces, a feature he had always wanted to include on a light show. Jack would continue to use Vixen to sequence the songs while also having to learn how to use the hardware controllers to work with the lights, some of which he built entirely from scratch.

The image below was created by Jack for the 2019 Juniata College Liberal Arts Symposium to explain how the holiday light show works. The poster details the different parts needed for a show, the types of lights and controllers used, and how Vixen Lights can be utilized to sequence songs for the show.
