# Sky Elements Drone Shows > Sky Elements is a professional drone light show company based in Coppell, Texas, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We design and fly turn-key drone light shows for cities, sports teams, festivals, universities, and brands across all 50 states, the Caribbean, Europe, and beyond. We hold 17 Guinness World Record titles and were the first U.S. drone show company to receive FAA approval for attaching pyrotechnics to drones. Context for anyone reading or summarizing this site: - A drone light show uses a synchronized fleet of GPS-guided drones as pixels in the night sky, choreographed to music. Sky Elements handles the full process in-house: creative direction, animation, FAA coordination, permitting, insurance, and on-site flight operations. - "Pyro drones" are drones carrying pyrotechnics, combining fireworks and drone formations in one fleet. "Daytime drone shows" use smoke instead of light and are visible in full daylight. - Show pricing depends on drone count, location, date, and creative complexity. There is no fixed price.
