In order to improve it
• they could have had something like sing-along music just prior to the actual lighting, which would engage the audience
• by considering the presence of children who get bored with opera/symphony music
• giving the audience heads-up when the tree lighting is going to occur so they won’t go away and miss it

It turned out to be a very dissapointing anti-climatic event.
Did you share your improvement ideas with the Entertainment Department. Doubt if they have a dedicated staff member reading TOTV.
