The pyromusical was designed and programmed by Rusty Johnson, our Victorian display manger, and it was the first time Rusty has designed and programmed a large scale pyromusical. It was also the first time he has designed and programmed a competition display so its a great achievement for Rusty on his debut.

The spectacular 18 minute pyromusical was fired from a barge in Manilla and featured a great Australian music but also included a compulsory segment of Philippine music that all competitors were required to use in their displays.

The international-award winning "Rock Loves..." fireworks production selected as sole US Pyro-Musical show at the DaNang International Fireworks Competition 2010 (DIFC 10) in Vietnam.

New Castle, PA (PRWEB) March 15, 2010 -- Pyrotecnico's fiery "Rock Loves..." show, introduced at the International des Feux Loto in Montreal, Canada, is set to take to the skies and thrill audiences again half-way across the world in DaNang, Vietnam. As the city of DaNang celebrates its 35th year of Liberation, grandstands erected around the legendary Han River will accommodate 500,000 people to watch the famed DIFC fireworks competition.

Great fireworks show "Taming of fire-2" will take place on May 15, 2010 in Dnepropetrovsk. 1-st similar fireworks display was held in Dnepropetrovsk by company "Sheriff" on October 4, 2009.

Different from «Taming of fire-1», new show is devoted to history of fireworks in China, Europe, Russia and Ukraine. The best fragments of "Sheriff's" displays including Yalta fireworks festival, Christmas fireworks displays and ground pyromusical performances will be used in the show.

In addition to the unique fireworks two fire-show theatres from Dnepropetrovsk and Kharkiv will take part in the show. 40 kW of sound and 30 kW of light, fire-show with grandiose fireworks can't leave even most sophisticated spectator indifferent. More than 20 tones of pyrotechnic products and equipment will be placed on the running tracks and adjacent territory. More than 10 thousand of pyrotechnic products including display shells, fountains, flashes, mines, comets etc. will be launched over 60 minutes.

Following the outstanding success of The Edinburgh Military Tattoo - A Salute to Australia in 2005 attended by over 150,000 people, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo returned to the Sydney Football Stadium in February 2010 to celebrate its 60th anniversary year.

With over 1,500 performers from around the world, including Massed Pipes and Drums, Highland Dancers and the stirring Lone Piper, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo was the biggest tattoo ever to be staged.

The new show featured international bands from the UK, USA, Switzerland, China, Norway, Russia, Trinidad and Tobago and New Zealand as well as Australian bands from each of the Defence Forces and from every state. You of course cannot have an Edinburgh Military Tattoo without Edinburgh Castle. The remarkable $1 million replica of the castle facade, was stunning, and included 9 cannons mounted at the top of the castle from which pyrotechnic cannon effects blasted to signal the start of the show.

Throughout the performance brilliant sequences of pyrotechnics and special effects were produced by the Howard & Sons Pyrotehnics team, including a beautiful pyromusical finale to the concert. (Photo credits:SCG Trust, Hamilton Lund & Paul Walton) Contact Howard & Sons: www.howardsfireworks.com.au
