Overview

About This Show

A 100-drone show for the City of Mesa’s Merry Main Street celebration on November 28, 2025, storyboarded and designed by ASU students.

The brief

What the Night Needed

The ASU Drone Show Design Program expanded through a partnership with the City of Mesa to put students at the center of real production work. Merry Main Street was where that partnership launched.

Creative approach

How We Designed It

Students in ASU’s Designing Drone Light Shows course led the storyboarding and created the show’s Christmas designs, working alongside our team through the MediatedX Lab, led by Dr. Ana Herruzo.

Site and audience

Planning the Venue

The show was framed directly behind the stage and the large Christmas tree, so the audience saw the drones, the stage, and the tree together in one view.

Afterward

What the Client Said

“A drone show is great because it takes up way less space than I expected, the logistics were super easy.”
