Lesse.... what did we have this year. Well.....

These were the tubes that were reloaded many times through the show:

And these were some smaller stuff:

Lesse here, finale stuff rocks:

Everything in that picture was fired once, electronically, for the finale. Here's the main connection point at the tubes:

The biggest shells we've ever done... 12" :D . These cost around $200 a piece, and they're cheap Chinese ones.

A web version of the show is forthcoming, the DVD was just finished today. If anyone's interested in a copy of the DVD, I'll send one out to ya... Show lasted about 30mins.

It's fun to have a brother who's licensed :D (BTW- big guy in the picture = my brother's friend, also licensed)
Ludicrous gibs!

    Ron-P,

    Sure, just PM me the addy, and I'll get you one once we start burning them. The DVD contains a special feature that's pretty cool... it involves a cooler... and a firework with the lift charge lopped off :D

    As another bonus, I have last years show on DVD as well, I'll send 'em both.

    Mike- You'd have to be running pretty fast in the other direction, because that 12 fills the ENTIRE shot of the camera in the DVD, and I was very far back and it was very far up...
    Ludicrous gibs!

    Here's a shot of the back row of finale tubes. The big-**** one is the 12" tube. That thing is buried about 3-4 ft in the ground...

    I would totally appreciate a DVD if you do not mind.
    Blowing stuff up to celebrate our Patriotisim is totally cool.

    Just to forewarn you (though it shouldn't matter since you aren't paying for these...), the camera didn't get a lot of the detail of the fireworks (it's just a consumer-grade camera), so you lose a lot of the visual beauty of the show. However, it's still a great DVD to test out the subwoofer on, and the show is, at the very least, watchable :)

    That actually may be cut out of the DVD, because it was a quicktime video, and the software my bro used to make the DVD didn't translate it correctly. However, if we can't get it to work, I'll post the vid up here, it's only a minute long or so.

    I wasn't present for the making of that video :). The reason they're laughing so hard is because they were just expecting it to pop the cooler up in teh air a little, maybe crack a few things...

    They found the handles about 50 yards away from the blast, in opposite directions :D

    Awesome! Fireworks are so much fun. A family friend is in charge of the E-days and CSU fireworks shows in Colorado. Their groundwork is astounding. Detonating 10"-18" salutes from 50-75 yds from the spectators. Lots of fun being "hit" by the explosions. Chad (they guy in charge) lights the fuses in a nomex/fire suit with a road flair. That scrawny boy can run when "properly" motivated.

    For thos of you in CO, check out the Silverton 4th of July show and the E-days show at CSM. Both are extremely unique.
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    Guy in my office likes to videotape his activities with explosives. He blew up a washer or dryer. As soon as the blast occurred, something went like a 3,000 mph frisbee RIGHT over the cameramans head. It's as plain as day on the video. It was the door. Foot lower and somebody would've had a really messy head removal.
