Pretty intense 2009 Neighborhood Fireworks show done in a Northern Virginia (D.C. Suburb) court. Video is from spectator point of view, hard to get everything in the field of view but you see most of it (close quarters in a court making it more intense). Includes 4 sequences with each sequence 3-5 minutes of aerials with 1 minute fountains in-between. Most intense place is in the middle (1:40 in) of the 3rd sequence and the end of the fourth/finale (starting at 2:00 with the large 3" shells and 2:55 for the finale).
For those interested in what was used, all fireworks were consumer grade with all aerials connected via different speed fuses (primarily a slow 33 sec/foot "back bone" fuse with 4.0 and 0.5 sec/foot fast fuse connected between the cakes and the backbone to light them off quickly/simultaneously). All cakes mounted on 2' x 8' 5/8" plywood planks (plus finale of 19 cakes in a cardboard box bottom linked to the end of a plywood run of cakes), with anywhere from 2-11 aerials going off at the same time. List of types of fireworks used for the total of all sequences:
Aerials-----------------
58 -- 200G Aerials ranging from 12 to 100 shots, mostly 24 shot
12 -- 500G Aerials (largest allowed in consumer) ranging from 9 to 220 shot, mostly 24-30 shot
61 -- Variety of 2" individual reloadable mortar tubes tied together in sequence (not reloaded)
108 -- Variety of 10 shot Roman candles (1080 shots total) all tied together at once
Fountains--------------
3 -- 500G Fountain
1 -- 200G Fountain/aerial combo
