Finale 3D vs. reality comparison of our July 4th show.

Show went off great. First time experiencing a legit CATO though. Rack did its job and everything went smooth after that. 5 - 3” multiple reports. They all went up 200ms apart using a sequencer. The second one in just decided it was going to blow. 🤷🏻‍♂️💥s

First year using the sequencers. Will let ya know how it works out. 2 x 12 = 24 multiple reports @ .20 interval. Only 2 COBRA cues used.
