As I mentioned in my last post, we fired our first contracted fireworks show last night, and I am happy to report it went wonderfully well. Not only was it the first show we've done for someone else, but it was also the first show we've fired electronically. It was a great experience, from building the new racks of mortars, to wiring the shells and cakes, to actually firing the show. I can't describe what a rush it is to flip a switch, push a button, and watch the night sky fill with colorful explosions, all the while knowing we assembled the entire show practically from scratch.
We had but one glitch during the show, which was due to our own error in not double checking all of our connections. We recovered rather well, though, and the spectators had no idea of the mistake. Once we finished cleaning up, we joined the rest of the crowd for live music, beer, and lots of celebrating. The evening was a perfect one for kicking off a week of vacation, and a great opening to our 4th of July week festivities!
