I know I'm fairly new on this forum, but I'd like to extend an invite to this community to one of my biggest passions. I've been into pyrotechnics as long as I can remember, since I was a little kid. Back in 2008, a few people got together on a friend's farm and fired off a few small, 5-minute, mostly consumer-level fireworks displays. We've grown since then into what is now a bi-annual event, and one of the top five largest fireworks events in the country.
The displays now span hundreds of feet wide, are computer-fired, choreographed to music, and include shells up to 12" in diameter (larger than what is fired on the mall in DC on the 4th of July).
This spring's MAFF will include eight displays, each roughly 10 minutes in length. There is also an "open shooting" section before the displays where the pyrotechnicians who aren't doing a display have a chance to scratch the itch.
This event is open to the public for spectating. If you're a long-time pryotechnician or just a newbie, and would like the opportunity to be in the field and help to set up a display, or you just want to see what it's all about, please drop me a PM.
Here's the link: www.maff.ws
We also do some stuff just for fun. For example, a 1,10,100,1000 salute salvo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQPpp8JwmyU
