As long as the winds aren't out of the south, we can operate in up to 20 knots of breeze. Winds out of the south become a problem at that location because it puts the audience in the fallout zone - we had to cancel once because of that. That being said, the wind predictions I've seen (windfinder pro, etc) have the winds out of the west to north west and dying down to <10 knots by show time... fingers crossed for that forecast to hold.Weather forecast looking good too for this weekend!
Hopefully winds calm down by time of the show.
Awesome fireworks! And don’t know Amanda, but wow, her birthday candles threw a lot of heat. Great job to all!!!!
Those gas mortars were insane. We were third row, show center, the heat was shocking.
You should have felt it from the shooter's tableWe were more than half way back, and all the way across from them, and it was still a blast of heat. I said right away I can’t imagine how it was to anyone up front, especially up by the food venders.
We've tried to get the word out, but many people are still unaware that there's a spectator section roped off that encompasses the entire are between the speaker stacks. It's the best place to view the shows and you'll definitely be able to hear the music from up there. All of the fireworks, firing systems, speaker, etc., are property of and paid for by the pyrotechnicians. We don't get a single cent for the event; it's all out of our pockets, with some individuals spending thousands on their displays. The sound system falls under that same category - unfortunately, we only have so much stuff to put up, and the event has grown astronomically over the past few years with respect to the audience size.Lines for food were long, bathrooms too, but it is what it is with that many people there. But it really would be nice to hear the music, and announcements from further back. Maybe a low power radio transmission?
Regardless, we were glad to have been there, and hope to be again.

I was right up there too, thought we were going to get flash burns!!!
Were you the guy who asked me if I knew Chad?
Nah, didnt bump into any MDS members, other than those in my group.
Gotcha.
I was wearing my SOTAR shirt and someone walked by and asked if I knew Chad. It took me completely by surprise cause I forgot I was wearing it.
Before I could think to ask if he was a MDS member, he had walked on.
Anyone hear anything about the 2020 show?
