Confetti Drop

As the DS area of the stage was very cramped, this had to be hung from 1 bar. It also needed to be operated by a performer on stage.

We found that this method of making a confetti drop was very good. Unlike the traditional method of using 2 bars and a bag between the two, we found that the amount of confetti dropped was very easily controlled, along with a very precise 'start' and 'stop' to the confetti drop.

Confetti used was a 25/25/25/10 mix of Le Maitre Chinese Confetti in Blue, Le Maitre Chinese Confetti in Red, White Paper confetti and Le Maitre Glitter confetti in Gold.

The White paper confetti was left over from Carousel 2013 and was sourced from Halo Lighting. http://www.halo.co.uk/index.php/sales/confetti/metallic-confetti-loose/493-white-paper-confetti
