2005 - Fireworks Grand Finale from 20 feet away!! - Greensboro

Most recent video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAlPBuwPKV4

Fourth of July fireworks show. Greensboro NC 7-4-07. Video of pyrotechnicians handfiring the "Greensboro Fun 4th" fireworks show.

I can be seen standing around with a road flare "supervising" and can be heard yelling "CLEAR!" when I light the finale. My younger brother is on the far left lighting the 5" shells, my wife is in the middle on the 4" shells, and my step-son on the right with the 3" shells. It was his first time firing so he had the majority of my attention during the body of the show.

@Elfeercachj01 If he could read English he would know this video was not intended to show fireworks in the sky; there are lots of videos like that on Youtube.

@jenstf I hear that argument a lot. The truth is going all electric adds a considerable cost to a show this size in an already very competitive market. If you figure the body has 400 shells, that's 400 e-matches, lots of wire and 3x the labor. No "small" firing system is going to have 400 queues. We use HDPE mortars which are extremely safe, that coupled with safety gear makes this very safe, and a lot more fun.
