Capturing Christmas Stage Design

During all of our “Capturing Christmas” brainstorms, meetings, and dream-sessions there was always one word that kept coming up – warm. We wanted everything associated with “Capturing Christmas” to bring about the warm Christmas memories that you had as a kid and the nostalgia of Christmas we all remember. And, this warm nostalgic theme continued to be communicated through our stage design as well!

When creating a new stage design there are multiple things we consider during our brainstorm sessions.

We wanted to give the song a fresh unique look so after playing around with a few ideas, we landed on the idea of multiple drum sets that could light up. To accomplish this, we created lights that could be mounted inside of each drum. This is a simple DIY project that created a unique look for the whole element.

To make these light fixtures we took a small piece of plywood and cut it into the shape of a 10” pentagon. We then drilled out 8 – 1”3/8 holes for the placement of the lamp sockets. We used pin type single circuit outdoor sockets. These sockets have pins that pierce the lamp cord when the cap is screwed down so there is no spicing or stripping of wire needed. We then inserted the lamp socket and daisy-chained the socket’s lamp cord. We gaffed the back of the connectors to stabilize them before installing the 100w soft white bulbs and the power connector on the end of the lamp cord.
