Impulse Dallas Presents Deck the Hauls
Thank you to Impulse Group Dallas for choosing Dallas Light and Sound as your production resource for the organization's first ever holiday party. Held in the Granite Bar at Station 4, the event saw the space transformed from essentially an empty room into a sexy and sophisticated holiday tableau. With signature DLS decor elements, lighting, audio, room layout, and a gorgeous photo area under the direction of Dallas Light and Sound, the event proved hugely successful. We deployed lighted trees and table centerpieces, created a food prep table holiday display, and provided other holiday decor elements from our inventory complimented the red and blue and green color scheme created by DLS for the event. Uplighting provided depth to the space and the photo area, which was anchored by a DLS red carpet and velvet rope installation to compliment the white drape background we installed for the event. With a Santa's chair flanked by DLS lighted trees and lighted box bases, one of the most memorable elements of the event décor sprang from the creative mind of our event designer Craig Canant - a simple red AIDS ribbon which overlayed on the white lighted trees.
Organizers collected more than 200 articles of clothing for Out of the Closet and performed more than 30 on-site HIV tests - with testing a core part of the Impulse Group Dallas misssion. Congratulations to the event organizers on such a successful soiree!
