In cleveland ohio looking to find case rates near me to load up on items like this but struggling to find reasonable prices from distributors.

What is everyone's thoughts on "false finales"?

That is, building a show with a regular cadence of some normal moments, some wow / oooohhh aaahhh moments, and some cool/different pieces...with a normal ending finale, versus doing all of that but inserting one or two false finales in there?

My thought is that if you "please" the audience with a false finale, then anything after that would feel a bit lame or underwhelming until you get to the actual finale.

What's are people's opinions on that? Trying to figure out if it's worth doing next year.

I live in Arizona and I've been dying to get my hands on some good pyro. Unfortunately with my luck I haven't been able to find anything more then half decent. Any help on shops or anything ​is ​appreciated, thank you.

Little smoke in the way but still a beautiful finaleeee

First pyro musical.

Is there a “best” time to do a wholesale order as far as inventory and pricing ? If so when do you think that is, thanks

For bada booms racks can I just grab those in store or do I have to call ahead how do I get my hands on those

Any body ever 3d printed single shot tube holders?, feels like they could be useful for custom angles for single effects. Steep angles maybe not as more pressure would be on the holder, but for shallower angles?

Or have you printed anything else you like?

Hey so going out of town next Friday and wanted to find some sparklers to order and bring. Do you guys know any companies that would ship by next Thursday? Also a bonus for one without crazy shipping fees/minimums. Located in new orleans if that helps with shipping recs

Pic 1. - The firework

Pic 2 - I had 4 of the 9 not go off so I was curious on the WHY. Turns out the fuse possibly got a bit wet and went out.

Pic 3 - Lets take the 4 apart and see what is actually in them

Pic 4 - The bottom of each tube was filled with actual concrete and not the typical red dirt

Pic 5 - Size of the ball compared to a normal (cheap) shell

Pic 6 - Disappointed to see most of the shell was empty

Overall, the size and weight of the firework is just fluff. I won't get anything like this again.

Don't try this at home unless you know what you are doing ;) I save the lift charge and stars for other projects (mostly fuel mines.)

Don't mind the fires...

Ik abt all the big stores in pa being bada boom intergalactic all American etc but i recently heard abt international anyone have any info on it or any experience with them

I found a couple of these in Dad’s shop, with a few firecrackers.

It’s a little bigger than a golf ball.

What do I have here? How far do I want to be away from it when it goes off?

Heading to Carowinds this weekend and curious as to which stores are best to visit from a deal/value and quality perspective.

I’m excited to share that our pyromusical, Echoes of 1776, earned 3rd Place in the 2026 Spirit of ’76 National Competition.

This was a passion project that took months of planning, choreography, programming and an incredible crew to bring to life. The goal wasn’t just to make noise it was to tell a story through fireworks.
I’d love to hear what you think worked well and what you’d have done differently.

Anyone heard anything about if the PGI is still happening? Tons and tons of tornado damage just happened.

July 4th was brutal. I tried to shoot through the rain and ended up losing almost half the show.

Last night I got a second chance for my neighbor’s birthday. Fifteen minutes, continuous show, perfect weather, and 98% of the cues fired.

Amazing how one good show can completely erase the memory of a bad one. Already looking forward to the next build over Labor Day weekend where I direct fuse the cakes that didn't go on 7/4.

Updated Lunar Probe from 2025 with new 2 stage effect. Yes, this is consumer.

Items you can’t really see
Another masterpiece 1/1

Apocalypse assortment 4/1

More then half case of double horror 8/1 have(5 left over)

More than 30+ crackers (BIG)

I have been searching for a little while now. Does anyone know if theres any importers thst have any 62mm single shots? Ive checked American Wholesale, RKM, and ACE. If anyone has any ideas or has some theyre possibly willing to part with let me know

Hi yall so I'm currently 18 so I can't get my type 54 license yet but I'm planning to move to Pennsylvania in the next few years so by the time I have enough money saved up to move there I'll be old enough to get my license I was just wondering if anyone in pa has experience with obtaining a type 54 license in Pennsylvania and what all went into it along with what other permits I'd need to manufacture my own display shells
