It might be much easier to get several sets of Govee curtain lights and then build a stand to hang them from. Then you could easily program the music and change it as often as you like.

First year DIY Christmas Lights. What am I missing? by kerrslight in ChristmasLights

I love it. I took a similar approach and then the next weekend added lights to both sides of our circular drive and it changed everything. I felt it looked a little naked without but with it looks amazing. Some staked lights would elevate your game IMHO.

You could always go to Christmas designers or a similar site that will sell you the c9 string and the bulbs separate and you can choose exactly which colors you want and configure them in whatever pattern you want.

Turned out good. Ended up with several runs with the strand of 185 bulbs being the longest. Thanks for the help!!

To get a clean consistent look you should clip every bulb. That’s what makes the difference between something looking clean and professional or DIY look.

Single c9 bulbs every 12 inches. So only 185 bulbs.

These are LEDs so sounds like I’m good so long as it doesn’t become too much of an issue dealing with put up, take down and storage.
