Thunder Over Louisville
Well, recently returned from Thunder Over Louisville. I have to admit, as much of a pyro prude as I have become, this show is amazing, of course it displays America's facination with excess, and believe me 60 tons of fireworks in 30 minutes is a great amount of excess. Though choreographed, this is not a very "artsy" show. The music is a counterpoint to the fireworks, though when compaired to the whole show its just background noise. The true star of the show is the excess. The show is shot from three locations, features huge shells, a fake finale, turns a bridge into a giant spark waterfall, and makes great use of one of my favorite shells, the crossett. Overall, this is a GREAT fireworks show. Not the most choreographed, we'll save those for the L'International des Feux Loto-Québec (which I'm happy to say, Melrose Pyrotechnics, one of the companies I work for was chosen to represent America). Thunder wouldn't be good as a artsy show, pyromusicals will rely on a single shell or a small group of shells to express the feelings the music express, where as at Thunder a "lull" is usually 10-15 shells in the air at a given moment. Watch Thunder '06 online at: Channel 32 WLKY. I am of the mind I would like to be on crew at Thunder for a few years, lots of pyro...

Yes, the pyro draws you. *sigh* Well, if you do go on the crew of Thunder, at least you'll be closer to Nashville. That would rock--to have friends "nearby" (in relative terms, of course). :)
Are you aware that you posted exactly one month from your last post?? I just found that interesting.
Right. I should quit babbling and go eat.... And then get back to work........but I don't wanna work..............
Peace. :)
Hey, when are you coming to see me??
Peace,
Jenny
As a crew member of Thunder all your comments are correct, why do you think they call it thunder.
If you would like a DVD of any of the shows from 2002 on I sell them on my web site. www.davidwevans.net if your interested.
They are professional quality not a vcr type production with people talking in the background.
