Fireworks Display Behind the Scenes

Yesterday we had the fireworks company arrive at noon to start setting up. We have all played with the small fireworks they sell on the side of the road but this does not even compare to what I saw. It was a amazing to see the setup involved and the shear size of the tubes that they were shot out off. We did have to contribute a little effort by drilling (5) 8 inch diameter holes almost 3 feet deep for the bigger shells. This was for safety just in case one let lose, the ground would hold it back. Below is just a few pictures and a short video of lighting the fuses.
