<< Hello,
Is there anyone out there who can help me with some questions I have in
regards to the balloon wall & columns that decorated the stage for final
night?
I will be decorating a stage this Thursday.
Where the balloons on the back wall 3 footers? I want to make it silver can
I use 30"?
Are the columns done using square pack method?  Did each one have its own
stand? Where the poles bend slightly to make them look that way?
I appreciate any advice.
Thank you

I am so sorry I didn't respond earlier!  I know today was your event!  I hope 
others were able to give you the information you needed!  For what it is 
worth, here is the answers you were requesting.

The wall behind the stage was an exploding wall using white 24" balloons.  
The columns in the front were square packed columns on conduit using the SDS 
bases as support.  The columns were tapered using Conwins Precision Inflater. 
 Started out with 6" balloons at the bottom and finished with 12' balloons at 
the top.  Used a combination of 9", 11" and 16" Qualatex balloons to get the 
variety of sizes.  The conduit was bent to get the angles in the forward 
wall.  3 ft balloons with a 60 watt light bulbs in the inside were on the 
top.
