2022 4th of July Fireworks Show

Second year with the Cobra system and by far my largest show attempt. Overall everything went well minus a miscue at the end of the finale resulting in a lingering rack of shells and a severe lack of a breeze causing smokeout conditions. Enjoy!

That was a really nice show! Not much you can do about the smoke. I've seen worse. I was wondering if there was going to be a second finale after that last rack of shells or if they were meant to fire faster to end the show. There's almost always going to be something that doesn't go as planned and these were some rather minor somethings. The rick roll was pretty funny and added a touch of humor that you don't often see in shows.

Thanks! The shells that lingered after the end of the song was a miscue, they were supposed to fire sooner and end right before the massive volley at the end but it got swapped with another rack that was fused faster.

I agree, only minor issues and considering I did all the setup myself I'll take minor issues.

Wow! Awesome show. I absolutely LOVED the purpose built black sky moments in the show. They did exactly what I was telling another user in my last post. It gives the audience time to breath and get ready for what's coming next. Your effects were awesome. I know you have great taste because I recognize most of those effects from using them in my own shows over the years. Besides the pauses between songs, you really kicked it up a few notches towards the end to fill the sky and overwhelm the senses of your audience. I'm not sure who the couple is that we can hear on the video, but I think the many "OMG's" at that point bears out what I'm saying.

Well done. Very well done indeed!

Thank you! As much as I focus on the little things it was an awesome to see my vision come together.
