2013 July 4th backyard display planning

[westcoastpyro]

Hey Pyros,
Now that we are just about under two months until most of us non pros will touch off the largest displays of the year, I thought it would be cool to start a thread for talking about our planning. If you are like me you will spend hours on it over the next two months. Please post ideas, layout, product you are using, photos of board building, cndle racks ect. I will have 70+ cases in my little back yard show this year :cool: so I plan to draw it all out with visio or some others program. So let us know how you are doing it.
Happy planning

NOAB cakes= 20
200g cakes= 240

Same day I am doing my show---one of these years we are going to be on different dates & get to do something together!!! Guess we will have to settle for a couple Mexican shells at Kellners this week!
Sounds like it will be an awesome show.
Westcoastpyro--don't kill yourself on the planning part--once you figure out what you are going to do you will trash it & redesign it again--and again--and again--and again--did I mention not to kill yourself on the planning? LOL
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

That’s really a lot of stuff. Do you take donations to pay for your shows?

Don't worry about the camera work man. We all know it's just a case of Pyro Jitters.( trademarked by Firework Crazy)....just saying lol, don't know if I'm the first to come up with that.

Pyro Jitters: noun- tremors of the hands due to pyro adrenaline overload.
....." I got pyro jitters just by thinking about what my show's going too look like with all those fireworks. "

[westcoastpyro]

So true I do have the pyro jitters in a bad way lol

I need an opinion, is it better to do a long say 10 min final or a short final and a more controlled show with what would have gone into the long final. I have all good quality 500g cakes I hate to use I a sky puke at the end. All opinions welcome.
