I think this is really cool. wasoxygen.And it is one of only two(?) fireworks shows in Washington State that are still fired entirely by hand. Almost everyone does electronically fired shows, or computer controlled shows. We don't. We stand right there and fire them by hand, timing each shell's flight, letting the pretty ones burn longer and undisturbed, letting the audience ooh and aaah for a bit before shooting the next shell. It's an unappreciated art that people just don't really get to see any more. Most shows are pre-programmed to music, and don't show as much love for the art of the fireworks themselves.
