The Bay Lights project was one of our largest yet. Legend Theatrical played a crucial role in assembly, and initial testing of the lights.


View a live feed of the lights!


Successful completion of the project required more than a couple of guys with patience and steady hands. We formed a makeshift assembly line in our warehouse specifically for this project. Power distribution and networking was integrated into a large panel and waterproof box provided by Transdyn, and shipped to our warehouse 6 pallets at a time.

BOULDER CREEK FIRE DEPARTMENT BBQ AND FUNDRAISER



Legend Theatrical donated labor and gear for the BBQ and dance fundraiser in Boulder Creek, CA. The fundraiser helps to provide Boulder Creek Fire Department with new equipment to protect the homes and people of the community. The Homemade BBQ and full bar was a recipe for good times, along with a live band and dance floor. This event was a win-win for proud local supporters, who had the opportunity to give back, and have a great time.


Space behind the firehouse was limited but used well. Truss canopied the Steeldeck stage and dance floor in the back of the lot. Every inch was used to our advantage. We outfitted the truss with an arsenal of lights including; our new SGM P-5 wash lights and Ph...

FURTHER CONFUSION 2013

San Jose Convention Center January 2013, FurCon moves in over the Martin Luther King Jr. weekend for a 4 day convention featuring art, comedy, comics, gaming, costumes and a lot of dancing. Most of our work took place in the 22,000 sq. ft. ballroom, though there was an art room where we installed 4 lighting trees with PARs to illuminate the art work, and a Dealer’s room where we provided power to the various dealer’s booths.


Load In for the event took 2 days, 4 box trucks, a pickup and a work van. In the Ballroom we provided 64 10′ sticks of truss that were hoisted by 20 1/2 ton chain motors to support the lights in two “T” shapes. We also used truss to support a...

http://www.meyersound.com/news/2012/valley_christian_schools/


Earlier this year Legend Theatrical completed a great installation of a Meyer Constellation Sound System at Valley Christian’s Conservatory!


“I started with Constellation off, and when I turned it on I could see the students’ eyes just come alive. When we talked afterward, a trumpet player in the back row said, ‘I could never hear the flutes before, but now I can really hear them.’”

Vice President & Director, Valley Christian Schools’ Conservatory of the Arts
