What a wonderful way for us to close out the Halloween Searchlight season. No haunted houses or nightclubs tonight! We're high atop Union Hill for the annual Hill-O-Ween, orchestrated selflessly by Worcester Police Officer Sean Lovely. Such a great event!

For many, many years, Stephen Roney was a good friend and supporter of Worcester Sound and Lights. It's only fitting that we would support, in any way possible, his legacy of the Roney Funeral Home, GFD, his friends, family and the rest of the Town of Grafton. Tomorrow at Steve's funeral, we will be simulcasting the service into the church hall via one of our 10' high-definition video projection systems, as well as providing audio outside of the church for those unable to make it inside.

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of Ron Zmetra today. Ron started Tents For Rent (Webster, MA) over 60 years ago and with his son Joe, has always been one of the most reliable people to work with. As many of you know, WS&L is a very family-oriented business with a father and son team at the helm, so it's no coincidence that we shared not only a valuable, professional relationship with Tents for Rent, but also very special, personal bond with Ron, Joe and their families. Ronnie, you will be greatly missed. Godspeed.

Worcester Art Museum, "Heavenly" Corporators Ball 2017. For this event, WS&L provided:
• 40 battery op uplights
• High-definition animated logo projection
• High-definition twinkling and shooting stars on two large screens, as well as projecting onto the ceilings
• 12'x20' stage for the band
• And finally, the most talked about aspect of the event: 264 running feet of clouds, custom printed and mounted on the exterior stairs of the Salisbury Entrance and the main staircase of the Renaissance Court. An accompanying 8x8 stand and repeat photo background was also provided outside during guest arrival.

A big thank you to Jon and Will for their hard work executing this event flawlessly.

Just when you thought the sky is the limit, WS&L goes above and beyond. Now that's event production! What can we do for your next event?

Happy Birthday of 73 years to Joe Sr! He had slightly more hair 30 years ago when this photo was taken by the Worcester Telegram. And Joe Jr may or may not still have those tube socks!

You might ask: What person in their right mind would spend so much money on classic recording or sound gear??? Oh, wait a second... I think we know a guy!

The Abbey Road Studios recording console used on 'Dark Side of the Moon' has sold at auction for $1.8 million.

"They just wanted to keep it simple to let people know that there's something that can be done," Joe Tortorelli said.

I knew that I had some candles to blow out tonight, but I think this is a bit much! -Joe Jr

More often than none, nowadays you hear that new song from your favorite artist and listen to it on repeat. Well, we've very carefully modified our 100+ year old carousel organs to "repeat" a certain tune or group of tunes on the mechanical roll system. Today, we're in South Boston for our annual appearance in the St. Patrick's Day Parade and we've got MacNamara's Band on repeat, along with a few other tunes so that Wylie doesn't go crazy hearing the same song over and over and over!
