i want to go there so bad i heard the prices are dirt cheap compare to the west coast prices.

Oh, I didn't mean to imply that it wasn't a great show, because it sure as hell was.

And yeah, the bowties are great.

Just out of curiosity, what is the budget for a show about this size?

[leviclark]

The budget for a show like we shot is probably close to $12,500. Maybe a little less.

And the bowties broke just perfect! I love it when that happens!

12,500 for this show?! i'd totally pay that! we had pyro spectaculars do our high school show that cost us almost 3x's as much ($35,000). it was no where NEAR this great! gah! great job on this show!

I am the technician who fired this show. We had an awesome crew out there all week who helped setup and shoot this display! We did an opening show and the closing show. The shells you are talking about are called "bowtie rings". And the reason you think the Friday and Saturday shows "overshined" ours is becuase we were working with about 1/4 the budget that the bigger shows had. I also think the Friday and Saturday shows were great, but we did pretty good for what we had to work with.

Pretty sure this was the Sunday Night show, before the Member Showcase. Great show, but the Fri. and Sat shows outshined it, I think.

Yeah, this was the Sunday night show. I didn't see the Friday or Saturday night show.

Our local CVB (Convention & Visittors Bureau) of Lake Havasu City hopes that this event, like other major ones here year round will help "our" local economy........as do I.... it's pretty bad here too. Hundreds of local people being laid off left and right.........Ouch.
