The Nashville Symphony Orchestra was accompanied by country music legend Ronnie Milsap, current country superstar Josh Turner, and one of the newest sensations on the scene Danielle Peck. The star filled evening was a huge success capped of by one of the largest fireworks displays in the US on the 4 July. This event is recognised as the third best 4 of July extravaganza in America.
Designer Frogge specified a wide range of equipment which included Martin MAC 300's, MAC 600's, MAC 2000's, Wybron 8 light color changers and Grand MA consoles. Not only did Frogge light the stage itself, but also the Nashville Stadium (as it appeared in the distance in most shots), home to the NFL Tennessee Titans.
Frogge's biggest challenge was the sheer size of the event itself, with elements in camera shot from Second Avenue down to the river and across to the stadium. Lighting the show and also treating this large expanse of space and buildings was a feat Frogge accomplished flawlessly. The entire team functioned as a unit and delivered a live show second to none that had a worldwide viewing audience, says the company.
