25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE LIGHT CUES

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_t75CJudKA

In general, the lighting will look like gym lighting, during non-musical numbers. I would
like to have a generic gym look with window patterns from one side and overhead lights.
Musical number will be generally brighter and more colorful. Backlight will be used to for
flashbacks and musical numbers. If possible I will use color scrollers or LED lights to provide
sidelight color.

possible). Low level amber & blue frontlight. Low level amber sidelight.
