Added a couple of items into the program (since the budget is blown anyway), spending another $37 on a few effects to augment the finale, and a special fountain to kick off the show.
Planning is now underway to determine what items are best to attach directly to ignition cues. There are twenty to use, but at least five should be reserved for the finale. Obviously distance between items has considerable bearing on this, it makes little sense to connect racks using visco, rather connect items within racks. Individual multiples being fired at once are going to be considered as well. I don't want to connect much more than eight effects with the slow burn visco to avoid any timing issues. Once this plan is determined, it will be used to wire up the visco on blasting day, and provide me with a firing menu that can be referenced during the show.
I've made some minor modifications to the overall order, but generally sticking to the initial plan. The show will kick off with some ground effects, then launch into a steady feed of individual effects for several minutes, interspersed with smatterings of air bombs, mines and mortars. Cakes with some of the best multi-effects will occupy the middle of the show before racks are ignited that run in tandem with each other. About two thirds the way in, mines and fountains will join the show for multiple heights of effects. Nearer the finale, up to six different items may be in the midst of firing at once.
Rack mounting work will begin shortly after the ignition plan is finalized this evening.
