Finale Boards and Video

[PyroBubba]

Just wanted to show you the boards we used in our finale for this year's show:

We had three matched boards like this. This is the center board. The two on left and right had High Stepper (AFW) instead of Amazing Ballet (Winda), but otherwise they were exactly alike:


Think Big (9 shot, 500 gram, AFW)
Phenom (16 shot, 500 gram, AFW)
2x Bring It On (96 shot, 200 gram Z cake, Shogun)
3x Cosmic Cobalt (9 shot, 200 gram, Pyro Planet)
3x Haunted Scarecrow (12 shot, 200 gram, Firehawk)
Dynamo (16 shot, 500 gram, AFW)
3x Excelsior (16 shot, 500 gram, AFW)
Warhead (24 shot, 500 gram angled, AFW)
2x Wild Factor (19 shot, 500 gram, Firehawk)
24x Mighty Mini (7 shot, 200 gram assorted, Dominator)
6x Lawless (6 shot, 200 gram, Dominator)


So, not counting either the 220-shot Z cakes or the 96-shot mini-Z cakes, that's a total of 418 aerial breaks per board, or 1,254 from the three boards. All of this fired in about one minute, which meant an average of 20 aerial breaks per second, not counting the Z cakes. Also, we had angled roman candle racks (144 Blue Thunder 8-ball candles) that added an extra 1,152 shots, plus about 150 mortar shells, and the show ended with a 21-shell quick-matched barrage.

High Stepper and Amazing Ballet are very similar (both 220 shots) and I've used one or the other of them at different times over the years, mainly depending on availability or how much money I had at a particular time. There are so many other Z cakes now and for next year, I hope to use more of them, plus put in some NOABs.

Doing the breakdown of what's in a show is something I like to do because I remember being a newbie 15 years ago and someone posted their video with a breakdown of what was in it, which really helped me begin to plan my first big show. It's important to think about helping newbies figure out the basics.

High Stepper is an awesome zipper cake. The damn thing always catches fire! But it's an awesome cake.
