Homecoming Fireworks Season
Tis that time of year. Football, fancy cars, kings and queens, and of course, the halftime fireworks display. Yep, you guessed it, high school and college homecoming football games. Some operators are not very fond of homecoming shows. They are small, you still have to drive significant distances, and your lucky if you make enough to cover gas in your vehicle. However, I enjoy homecoming shows for a few reasons. One, they are small. It’s a good break from the 26 hour bust your behind days setting up the big shows. Two, they are a good time to train new crew. The setups might take 30 minutes to at most 2 hours for your average homecoming show. This gives way to you being able to take your time during setup and answer all the questions the new people might have. These shows are not very labor intensive due to thier size. Although the shows are small, you usually get quite a few of them during the October/November season, and this still ads to your experience. No matter how big the show is, there is always something new to learn. So in the end, you still get your pyro fix without all the usual hard work that goes into the bigger shows.
