This design was inspired by the Colorado mountains and I learned a lot about design planning on this tour.  At this point in my career I would draw something and send it off to the vendor to figure it out.  The vendor did a great job making this design work however upon further investigation there was a small number of shows we could fit the entire show into so the challenge of this tour was always, “How much of the rig can we bring in?”  I swapped fixtures a few times and ran into technical issues but when this rig made it into the room it worked and lots of fans really enjoyed it.  The backdrop was a metal fabric which was very noticeable for audience members who were close enough to see it.  This was my first use of the MagicBlade by Ayrton.
