Hi, my name's Mike and I'm from eastern Montana.
I've been doing neighborhood fireworks shows with my buddy Keith for about 15 or 20 years. We skipped a few years when Keith became a dad, but now his little girl is turning into a fireworks fan as well... she likes fuses almost as much as we do! We usually make a "pilgrimage" to Cheyenne WY for our stash, since there are 3 great fireworks stores all within a few feet of each other. We started off entertaining people from our families but now we get our whole neighborhood involved.
We just got into e-firing this year and purchased a Cobra system with 3 modules, 18R2 remote and the Audio Box. This year we did two shows for two separate groups -- the first one was all manual fired, and the second was our main show, much bigger with script and music. Needless to say the system worked fantastically and our audience went crazy for our show. Lots of comments saying our show was better than the local "city" show (since we had music and a much faster pace). The best news is, now our wives our totally onboard with our show as opposed to just "enduring" it before. Even though our show went well I know there is a lot of room for improvement for next year.
I've been reading this forum for a while and have watched alot of Dave's videos, and am impressed with all the knowledge and enthusiasm here. Hoping to "graduate" to wholesale fireworks for 2016 -- the winter can't go fast enough!
