CLEVELAND, Miss. \u2014 <\/strong>Delta State University is excited to announce Laser Fantasy,<\/em> a series of immersive music laser shows hosted at the DSU Planetarium and co-produced by students in the Delta Music Institute’s (DMI) Live Event Practicum course. Starting November 6, the series will feature dazzling laser light displays set to the music of Daft Punk, Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, and Prince, providing a unique experience for the campus community.<\/p>\n

Each show will synchronize breathtaking visuals to these artists\u2019 most popular songs, delivering a memorable experience under the dome. Audiences can expect to be transported through Daft Punk\u2019s electronic rhythms, Taylor Swift\u2019s chart-topping hits, The Weeknd\u2019s soulful melodies, and Prince\u2019s legendary soundscapes.<\/p>\n

This event offers DMI students a practical opportunity to hone skills they have gained in their junior and senior years.

Laser Fantasy<\/em> showcases their work, from event concept to delivery, offering invaluable industry experience.<\/p>\n
