    Everyone has the fire, but the champions know when to ignite the spark.

     

    Hello everyone,

    My name is Matthew Loreto and i was raised in fireworks! I love everything about fireworks but my favorite is designing and watching a show come to life right in front of your eyes!! It is truly amazing how far along finale has come from when I started playing on the trial version back in 2014-2015

    Hello to all my fellow pyros!

     

    I am a backyard hobbyist in the USA. Been doing pyro for almost a decade now and thought it was time to up my game! I am currently using the Pro version for PyroJam to figure out exactly what features I would actually use and so far it looks like Lite will satisfy my craving (for now).

     

    I have some pyromusicals out there but don’t have a youtube channel to showcase them really. Sorry ;-(

    Hello everyone,
    Nicolas, I’m 30 today, from France.
    Currently light designer in a theater, I will dream of becoming a pyrotechnic designer one day.
    I currently have no professional experience and my use of Finale3D is limited to my preparation of my first big show for the PyroJam 2023 !

    You can find my lighting work here

    And I hope my pyrotechnic work too one day !!!

    Greetings community,

    I have been doing pyrotechnics for over 10 years mostly 4th of July shows.  Have recently moved into electronic firing systems and pyromusical design and scripting.  I am a retired IT professional.

    Hi,

    I’m Alan and live in Vermont.  Have always loved fireworks and have been helping a local fireworks company with shows for around 10 years (my wife calls it my mid-life crisis).  Was in the retail shop buying stuff and the owner asked if I would like to make it a paid hobby.

     

    I have a YouTube channel with recordings of some of the shows:  https://www.youtube.com/@alanouellette175

     

    Have used Finale3D to design 2 shows for contests and am looking forward to getting more involved in the show design side of the business.

     

    Real job is writing software

    Hi, I’m Dusty 👋 I live in the Midwest US, between Omaha and Kansas City. Fireworks are a passion & hobby for me, I shoot a large 1.4 Pro + 1.3G show for friends & family each year and participate in club events with KCAP. Finale 3D has helped me take my shows to the next, next, next level!

    Hello,

    My name is Kris Brown.  I am a pharmacist by trade, but I am a long time fireworks enthusiast.  I’ve had a 4th of July party every year of my adult life.  It started out with myself and a bunch of friends running back and forth lighting cakes.  That got a little exhausting so we started taping fuse together.  Met a guy who told me I could fire them electronically so I bought a low level electronic firing system. Did that for a few years and then stumbled onto Cobra.  I’ve been using Show Creator for a few years now, but decided to upgrade to Finale 3D Hobbyist this year to get more design flexibility.  I’m excited to learn this new software.

    Hello all!

    3 pyromusicals under my belt and the last one with Finale3d – I’m and relatively new hobbyist using Cobra.

    Went to Cobra-Con and was introduced to Finale3d and made the purchase.

    Hello, Hobbyist. Garbage man by day.  Been using CSC for 6 years, thought I would give Finale a try… feeling a bit whelmed.  not over or under just whelmed.

    very few  of my products are in the effect tabs.  even though I have got all the 76, racoon, and dom.  I use loads of different Manufactures, Winda, Brothers …making the effects takes way more time than just popping over to youtube and looking it up… not sure I will be renewing next year.

    Hello … My name is Fred. I’m a novice pyro hobbyist living in South Dakota (US) shooting mostly 1.4 pro (with some 1.4 and 1.3 mixed in).  I’ve been using CSC to create 1-2 backyard shows per year.  As each year passes, I become more frustrated by the difference between what I “see” in my mind when designing a show, and what the show actually looks like when shot.  Hence … at 69 years old, I’ve finally decided to tackle Finale 3D. I’m looking forward to creating shows just for fun as well as dazzling friends and family next summer!

    I am Rick Moore currently residing in Northeast Tennessee.  I have been using Finale since the mid-1990’s and previously used Personal Composer before that.  Oh, that’s right, this is the Finale3D forum.

    My life has been in music and event production mostly for / with churches in Michigan, California, Wisconsin, Missouri, Virginia, and Tennessee.  I have hired other companies for the pyro portion of our events, e.g.- Zambelli, San Diego Fireworks, and Garden State Fireworks.  But, now it’s my turn to do the firing myself and I’m lovin’ it.

    I bought my first electronic firing equipment earlier this year and blew my first show on July 4th (2023) . . . at church!   They loved it.

    I’m still using Finale (music notation software) regularly.  So, now I have / use TWO Finale’s in the house!  They are BOTH very complicated software (which also means they’re quite flexible [preferred]).  So, the learning is killin’ me right now!  Hope to get a lot of help right here!

    My organization name is Axehead Event Productions, LLC.
