A.M. Pyrotechnics put on the Sunday night demonstration - and it was one
of the most amazing things I've seen. This was the North American continent
premiere of some of his unique product. A combination of specialty Japanese,
Italian and Chinese shells was some of the most mind-blowing stuff around.
Aaron also used some very interesting choreography, using large amounts
of dark sky to let the smoke move out of the way and to let the shells
'breath'. When one of his very special shells went up, it was on it's own
and not stepped on. Some of these shells had 15 second durations, and was
breath taking. That, and when was the last time you heard Pavarotti as part
of the music for a pyro display?
If you ever get a chance to see an A.M. display, SEE IT. I mean it - if
it's within a day's drive, it'll be worth it. These pictures really don't do
it justice.

It was amazing how many times the rings were lined up with the audience. |
