The Giving Tree will be surrounded by a rig of 10-24 movers and several pixel elements and practicals.

We will provide a 3D Vectorworks file along with a full patch sheet and instrument schedule.

Time: approximately  3:00 PM - 4:00 PM  

Song Duration:  30-60 seconds  (Think 1 verse, 1 chorus.)

6. It's for a worthy cause: The theme of the party (and of Open Source as a whole) is "Knowledge is power; please give it freely."

The event is focused around a toy drive for kids, which we are calling the GIVING TREE. (thats the tree you're lighting.)
