The girls came to the game on August 1st (we were watching my nephews, so Amy brought all 5 kids down) to see the game and the fireworks show after the game. Its a good way to kill a friday night if you’re looking for something to do during the summer, whether or not the braves are winning. Anyway, they got down to the park in time for the opening pitch and they got to see the braves get hammer by the brewers. Always a fun night when the home team looses.

It doesn’t matter to the little ones though, they have more fun being at the park (and running the base in SkyField) then actually watching the game. They stayed for the show afterwards and got to see one of the better shoots this season. the show ran for just under 7 minutes to a retro (70’s) theme and had all the favorites when it comes to pyro. You can check out the video below. Boy, I can’t wait for this season to be over!!

Well, baseball kicked off last month (the beginning of April) and by this point we were supposed to have had three Friday Night Fireworks shows…. So far, we’ve had two. The April 4th show was rained out (game called before it even started) but the other two have been superb shows so far.

Each show has a theme to it (chosen several months ago by the Braves) and it choreographed to the music so that its prettier than a dance. The shows are taking us about 2 1/2 to 3 hours to layout and wire, but we’re still done with plenty of time to spare and so far, we’ve had two 100% shows (which is pretty damned good).

This past week Gruntled came by with a couple of his friends and they were able to see the setup before we shot. I don’t think they realized what it took to put on a show like this. Most people are amazed when they see the final product (especially after seeing what it looks like setup).

Anywho, I found some video of the 4/18 show (it was latin themed) on myspace… so here….
