Quick-fire Edition #3: Display or Pyro?
What does it mean?
Display fireworks are what you see at the large outdoor shows, think Canada Day or New Years Eve. They can be hand fired or electrically fired, traditional or pyromusical and most commonly in Canada they range in size from 2" - 12" in diameter.

Pyrotechnics are generally used to enhance an event such as a rock concert or in the special effects world to create things like simulated bullet hits. Most are designed to be used indoors and in close proximity to performers but there are also larger effects that are used outdoors.
James: Display!Display!Display! Pyro is much more calm and methodical - it's like an exclamation point on an event. Display is an event in itself...you race all day to set up in time, shoot for about 15-20 minutes, then tear down and clean till the wee hours of the morning.
Leiah: Display, you just don’t get that oomph, that feeling in your chest from pyro. Cleanup after a pyro gig is amazing though!
Ross: Display fireworks. Maybe it’s an ego thing, but Pyro is a part of the show, Display Fireworks… you are the show.
Adam: Display.
Candice: Display. Pyro by nature is used as a punctuation point in an event, whereas fireworks can stand alone as an event. If you could combine the cleanup of pyro with the awesome of fireworks, it would be a pyrotechnicians’ dream!
Kelly: Display (but often we use pyro for intricacies)
Do you have a question for the crew? Is there something that you would like to know about what it's like to be a pyrotechnician? If we use your question you could win your very own Archangel Fireworks T-shirt! Send your questions to info@archangelfireworks.com
