Trivia

 * This show has first been announced in 1998, although, due to technical issues, has been pushed back from 2000 to 2001, and then again to 2002.
 * The show costs $25,000 per performance.
 * “A Festive Prelude”, a demo made for showcasing Orchestral Tools’ Berlin Brass (demo song number 2 at this link) bears somewhat of a resemblance to the Skyrotechnics Anthem, albeit with more of an emphasis on brass than said anthem, plus some other differences.
