Stadiums and school sport
Friday night lights, coming from the stands.
High school football, homecoming, a packed gym, a cheer routine timed to the mix. Everyone in the stand is already holding a light — Wildlights puts them all on the same beat, in your colours.
Moments it is built for
The parts of the night everyone already stands up for.
The team comes out
The whole stand in school colours, building as the tunnel opens, then a hit on the first note of the fight song.
Halftime and the cheer routine
Load the routine's mix and the show is written from that track — the eight-counts, the hits, the breaks — so the stand is part of the performance instead of watching it.
The student section
Give them their own group and they get their own part: their own colour, their own rhythm, and the sweep starting with them.
Home against visitor
One question on the way in splits the stadium down the middle. Two sides, two colours, answering each other across the field.
Senior night and homecoming
A slower level holds the room in one colour through the names, then lifts for the anthem or the last song.
The end of a close game
You are running it live. Take the stand to a colour, flash a moment, or blackout — one button, no cueing.
Built for a stadium specifically
Sections are the hard part, and they are handled.
"Which section are you in?" — 1 to 999
You do not type out a hundred sections. Ask for a number and Wildlights groups the answers into ranges, so a stadium numbered any way at all still splits into blocks that a wave can cross in order. Anyone who does not know their section still joins; they just move with the room instead of with a block.
Your colours, saved once
Set the school's colours, name them, and they are there for every game for the rest of the season. Dark navy on a phone screen reads as off, so the palette is worth setting deliberately once and reusing — not rebuilt from colour pickers on a Friday afternoon.
The PA is playing, not you
Stadium audio comes from the press box. Let the host phone listen through its microphone and it will work out where in the track the stadium actually is and line every phone up with it — including when the source is running slightly fast or slow.
A big crowd on bad signal
Phones fetch the show once and run it from their own clock, so a packed stand on strained bars is not re-fetching anything beat by beat. Poor signal slows people joining more than it hurts the show they are in.
For the athletic director, the band director or whoever is actually doing this
What it takes on your side.
- A song file The mix you are already playing. Loaded from your laptop; it never leaves your browser.
- One QR code On the jumbotron, on the programme, on a sign at the gate, in the student section's group chat.
- A few minutes beforehand Build the show and watch it back on a simulated stand before anyone is in the seats.
- Somebody holding a phone or laptop That is the whole rig. There is nothing to plug in and nothing to hang.
Flashing is worth a decision rather than a default in a crowd this size. The standard setting stays within the usual three-flashes-a-second public guideline, and the gentlest setting keeps everything to a slow wash. What each setting does →
