I really like the drone shows but, lord almighty, the things that have to go right and the cost just to buy the drones and then all the work involved in laying them out, charging batteries, loading batteries, etc.

Awesome to see but I wouldn't want to have to work in a show like that. (OK, I'd probably enjoy most of it)

I wonder who had to bind all those drones lol.
Find tiny tweezers for button.
Press and hold the bind button while inserting battery at the same time.
Place controller or computer in bind mode wait 45 seconds reboot and test.
All good? Great!! only 9,999 to go......
