[QUOTE="merryoncherry, post: 137084, member: 37249"] Many people use RemoteFalcon to give people a way to choose the song. It works easily, you don't have to build anything... no connecting to your wifi or other such complexity. If their phone has internet, they can do it. Just put a money box out. Make it noticeable. At Christmas, there are people who basically won't leave your show unless they've donated to something. Make a clear place for them to donate, they'll like that because it helps them feel better about themselves. If you ask for $1, they'd give you that, but if you don't give a number, you'll often get $1 but sometimes more. (This was the first year someone put a Benjamin in our box.) Also, if your charity has a QR code, publish it. As much as it surprises me, not everyone has cash or wants to use it. We got 20% more this year by having the QR code for the furniture bank printed out where people could see it. Your situation may be different, but I'd discourage pay-for-play for 2 reasons: 1. Shows are supposed to be fun. Not everyone wants to be nudged into donating to one more thing at Christmas, and it wouldn't be that fun for them. There are plenty of others who'll donate because they feel like they gave back, not that it was an obligation, and that will make the whole experience more fun for them. 2. There's a question of copyright music. If I buy the song, and play it a little loud and people happen to overhear it, there's no reason to think I'm not within the rights people usually exercise. Now, if I charge you money to hear it in any way, shape, or form, that changes the rules dramatically. Interactivity is another fun thing to do... IMO that's the best use of buttons and such... to play an overlay sequence. [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
