Back in business

After a lengthy blogging hiatus we are back with a new blog (one that works!) and a new season full of adventures.

Things around the shop this year have been very busy and exciting, we have seen many new and awesome products added to our line despite supply issues from China, we have added some fantastic new summertime staff to our group to help us through the busy season and for the second year in a row we have taken home top honours at the HSBC Celebration of Light in Vancouver's English Bay!

Our show entitled "Attack" narrowly beat out the Chinese team but was decided as the winner based on our original theme and innovative story-telling style of show. The following quote from Head Judge Tiko Kerr made us smile:

“In the final analysis the country that swayed my decision presented, in my mind, a new kind of fireworks experience, never seen before,” said Kerr. “The winner presented a complete narrative; a dramatic concept, executed with incomparable choreography and precision, that took the audience on an astonishing theatrical journey. This was not mere pyrotechnics to songs strung together. We feel it is the beginning of a brave and imaginative new experience in fireworks, where a tale is told in fantastic exploding abstractions.”

We took a chance this year with our show and are very happy it was well received!

Stay tuned for more frequent blog updates!

Happy Shooting,
Archangel Fireworks Team
