Thats one of two identical barges... About 2200 shells each. We did shows for 2 cities on the water.

40 8" Shells on each. About 750+ in Finale.

I see that is an electronic display. Did you expect rain or use the foil to protect from sparks?

Both. It rained several days. And to protect from sparks we had several shells get lit by sparks during the show.
