So glad you found us on the web.  We assume you are probably looking for show times and directions so here you go!  We are located at 7881 Lindsay Lane in N. Edmond near Kelly and Waterloo.  Click here for a Google Map that you can print.  Our light display runs from 6pm to 10pm, Monday through Thursday, and 6pm to 11pm on Friday through Sunday.
 
This year we are so excited to partner with OK Foster Wishes to help raise funding to provide Christmas gifts to the over 8,000 children in the Oklahoma Foster Care program.  You will have the opportunity to donate while viewing the show and help make Christmas a little brighter for the kids in Foster Care.  Our goal is to raise $5000 for OK Foster Wishes this Christmas Season! Click here if you would like to donate online!

We had the privilege of working with several talented folks to produce the music and videos you see in the 2011 display.  If you are blessed by what you see please share it with your friends and send us your feedback. We will pass it on to all of those that worked so hard to bring the show you see this year.  If you purchase "Joy to the World" or "O Holy Night" (look to the right), we will donate 100% of the proceeds to OK Foster Wishes. 

Though we haven't met most of you, we do care about you and your family and pray that your Christmas season is a special one.  Thank you for letting us share part of it with you. 

The Stone Family

So it was cold and wet the day we shot this.  The location was a hay barn in Cashion, Oklahoma...also known as my hometown.  And the barn?  That is my dad's.  Yes, it is the first time it has been used to shoot a music video.  The cows didn't seem to mind.  The barn has zero power so we brought in two large generators to power the lights and equipment used to produce what you see here.  The rain started that morning and made such a muddy mess that we were forced to unload our equipment truck and transfer everything to a John Deere tractor to transport to the barn. Everyone was a such a great sport considering the conditions.   And.....we can't wait to share the rest of the songs and videos with you starting December 3rd!

We are well under way setting up for our 2011 Christmas light show.  Last year was our first year to automate the display and this year we are even more excited to share with you and your family a celebration of Jesus' birth.  The music used in last years display came from a Christmas service I played in at Lifechurch in 2009 led by Trent Austin and Marcy Priest. While it was running one evening I thought "Wouldn't it be cool to create our own videos from local worship leaders?".  So that is what we did!  I'm excited to announce that this year's music will be led by Dameon Aranda, Jami Smith, and Larry Harrison.  We have finished recording in the studio, have shot 2 of 3 videos, and are putting the final touches on everything for you to enjoy this December.  

Joy to the World - Video Shoot

O Holy Night - Video Shoot

This year we are so excited to partner with OK Foster Wishes to help raise funding to provide Christmas gifts to the over 8,000 children in the Oklahoma Foster Care program.  You will have the opportunity to donate while viewing the show and in return will receive some Christmas music that will brighten your holiday. 

We will launch to the public on Saturday, December 3rd at 6pm and run through December. Please spread the word to your family and friends.  Add us to your Christmas light viewing destinations.  Be sure to let us know what you think on our Facebook page too!  We love hearing from each of you.

Img_5108
The 2010 Stone Christmas Light Show consists of a 9 x 15 HD video screen and roughly 15,000 lights decorating the house.  All lighting minus the 30 strobes used in the show are 100% LED for 2010.  The lights are controlled by four Lightorama controllers and 2 Cosmic Color Ribbons totaling 364 channels.  (CCR = 300 channels alone)  The show is triggered via a computer that automatically runs the show each night based on a preset schedule.  The video images are provided by a 3,000 lumen projector that is rear-projected from inside our home.  We are broadcasting our audio via a Mobile Black Box transmitter on 100.9 FM. 

Img_5083-edit

The music from our light show is performed by the Lifechurch.tv Edmond Campus band.  The video was captured from the 2009 Christmas service and the arrangements were created by Trent Austin (worship leader).  You can watch this year's Christmas service live at Edmond Rd and I-35 on Dec 23 (5:30 & 7:00pm) and Dec 24th (4:00, 5:30, & 7:00pm).   http://www.lifechurch.tv/christmas

Below  is a photo from last year's lights.  The display will be similar but a bit more expanded for 2010.  We use 100% LED which allows us to add more lights without breaking our electricity budget. ;)  Today, we are finishing the final touches on the show and will begin setting out the last few lighted items in the yard.  It has been a family project and we are really excited to share it with you.  Yes, we know we are crazy.
