Fireworks, in my opinion, are good for about 57 seconds. A really good show might go a minute, but at some point you realize that it's just more of the same.
Adding music was a big improvement. That took it from the 29 second range to more than double the entertainment value.
Me at a fireworks show:
first 5 seconds: Hey look they've started!
next 10 seconds: Wow! There's a big shiny red circular one! Look, it's spraying out at all angles!
Next 20 seconds: Now they're mixing up the red ones with the loud banging ones and the blue ones!
next 15 seconds: I think we've seen just about all they've got....wait a second....that's a different, squiggly one!
next seven seconds: I wonder if there are any different ways to make red, white or blue fireworks do cool stuff....
next second: nope
next 20 minutes: They're still shooting them huh?
i love fireworks. they give me the same feeling as a beautiful star filled sky, or a rainbow, or a pretty sunset. i don't know...i think it has something to do with feeling connected to something bigger than us. so excited for labor day...they shoot of fireworks in branson for labor day! cause we are into american holidays down here!
