Soon enough, the Class B started up. |

Class C
The Class C items may not be as big as Class B, but it's kinda nice to be CLOSE to the pyro! |

Michelle wow'd the crowd with some fire dancing. |
|
|
|
There was a person video taping in my way - was interesting. |
|
|
|
|
|
Every now and then, you can see Michelle's arm or hand. |
|
|
|
|
|
I just love the patterns the flames make. |

"Bee" Cakes
These cakes were demo'd with "bee"s in them. |
|
|
|
They go up and take a 90' turn in an unknown direction. |
|
|
|
|
|
Usually in the direction of the crowd! |

When A.M. Pyro started up, you could instantly see the difference in the colors. |
|

These were double-ring red in blue shells. |

Looks like "bee" cakes were the order of the day |
|

The direction/wind speed was a real problem. |
|
|
|
A.M. Pyro
At this point, the show had to be shut down, as we had sparks landing on/around the tent used for our fireworks vendors! |
|
|
|
While we waited for the fire department to show up (wet down the tent and stand by), someone set off a large pinwheel. |
|
|
|
|
|
A very nice effect! |
|
|
|
The thing was very large. |
|
|
|

After the Lake Havasu City fire department was in place, the show restarted. |
|
|
|
A.M. Pyro
Some of these shells had very nice inserts. |

The smoke direction was still an issue, but the wind speed dropped way down during the delay. |
|
|
|
A.M. Pyro
This was just pretty. |
|
|
|
A.M. Pyro
I didn't see the white spike effect until I saw the picture. Very unusual - very nice! |
|
|
|
A.M. Pyro
Great colors, wonderfull combos |
|
|
|
A.M. Pyro
When's the last time you've seen aqua-marine blue shells? Fantastic color! Very unusual. |
|
|
|
|
|
A.M. Pyro
If you were here watching, you would have heard all the pyros say "Hey - look at the blue! Wow!" |
|
|
|
A.M. Pyro
You could always tell the great shells on the way up by the "falling leaves" - sputter of color on the way up. |
|
|
|
A.M. Pyro
Here you can see the falling leaves effect - this shell really WOW'd the audience! |
|
|
|
A.M. Pyro
Great symetry, wonderfull color combos - these shells rocked. |
|
|
|
A.M. Pyro
At this point, the show became HUGE. It litterally filled up your field of view with pyro. |

Aaron was filling the sky with pyro. |
|

It completely filled your vision. |

And then the fan racks at the end - Jeeeeeez! This was one sweet show. |

The green flame came from adding copper sulfate to methyl alcohol and injecting the mix in the after burner. |
|
|
|
|
|

I reset the camera to try and freeze the flame to really see the increadible green that was on display. |
|

A great finish to the night! |
