Hello. My name is Patrick. Born a Sooner, rootin’ for the Huskers living in Omaha. I was normal until I moved here about 7 years ago! After our first Fourth of July here I got bit by a pyrobug! …and then I met one who directed me down a pyro path from which there is no return! I found a new family of friends that I wouldn’t trade for anything! So far I am loving Finale3D and have used it to aid in some of my shows recently. I’m looking forward to a good experience here. Cheers! 🙂

Hi Community!
Here is Matteo from Italy. I’m an IT expert and innovation manager. I started doing fireworks more than 10 years ago, immediately after I started to study pyromusicals and how electronics is applied to the fireworks industry. Today I’m totally comfortable with the industry and I design pyromusicals, always innovating and trying to be as much creative as I can.
Thank you for this new opportunity to learn anything new.

Hi Community! I am Roger from Ferndale, WA. and have been a pyro addict most of my life. I do one show a year (guess the date), and as I am sure you all know, it gets bigger and better each year! I did my first pyro-musical in 2014, but now with all the Pro-line effects, I can no longer visualize it all in my head. So, this is my venture into Finale 3D. I can’t wait.

Hi! My name is Jason. I shot my first consumer show with a buddy of mine in 2004. I remember together we spent $500. We thought we were big time then! We continued to do our personal show for several years and it grew to the point we had to move to a friends farm. I shoot professional shows (mine are on the smaller end for sure) with a local display company.

Hello Everyone. My name is Brett and I’ve been shooting back yard shows for the last 14 years. Just got into Pyro Musicals last year–don’t know why I didn’t embrace them sooner, it’s incredibly addicting. Looking forward to learning more about Finale3D.

Hello, Russ from Maine, but currently reside in Virginia. Been enthused with 4th of July and fireworks since I first saw my dad and Grampa shooting fireworks when I was 4yrs old. After almost 25yrs of USAF active military service, and 10 years of planning a pyromusical in my head (yes…10 yrs!), I put my first show on last year on the 4th at our camp on a lake in Maine with a MAXED OUT and overly-taxed IGNITE system. It was an amazing and resounding success. So this year…MASSIVE upgrades including full COBRA firing, Finale3D scripting, custom musical effects using Audacity, and 1.4G Pro products across multiple positions. I’m considering Pyrocast so boats watching from the middle of lake (it’s almost 2miles across) can have “tuned” music right to their viewing position. But I dunno…lol…so many changes already…what could go wrong???
That said, I’m really just a backyard, novice-amateur hobbyist, doing one self-funded show/yr. But maybe…this grows into something else. Nobody in my area (of Maine) does anything like this (that I’m aware of.)
I discovered Finale3D about 1 month ago from the COBRA website. I’ve been fervently immersed in self-learning of the hobbyist version. This is pretty powerful software and was exactly what I was looking for to expedite the scripting…although…creating my own effects to match my uncatalogued supplier was a bit tedious. All good learning I guess…CHEERS!
