Shot my show yesterday, it was probably around 40 minutes in length. It would have been shorter but unfortunately my firing system is still on its way to me so I had to hand fire everything. This meant that my fingers are a bit singed and most of the time when I wanted to fire more than one cake at the same time I had to fire them one at a time. I have included my firing order which includes all the pyro I bought & shot. I also have included a list of my thoughts on each firework. I realized that my show had a lot of glitter in it this time, not sure it's a good or bad thing.

1: Fountains were meh, next time I'll get better quality ones like the peacock fan one to open up with.
2: Not bad, good transitional / early on in the show.
3: I kind of remembered the Mini display shells being better, they were okay, not sure I'll include them in another sure. Felt like they broke low.
4: See comments on #1.
5: Utter let down I was really expecting more from this mortar but the Mini display shells were better.
6: See #3.
7: Pretty good for the price.
8: See #3
9: Great transition from the smaller single shot stuff to the cakes. Although I'm pretty sure the tubes in both Barrages Shot out of order as the salutes were in the middle and not at the end. I definitely want to fan more Roman candles/Barrages in the future it looked great.
10: Wonder small cake, well worth it. Decent length, breaks and colour. Would buy again.
11: Great cake, my mother loves the "flying fish" effect so she was happy. One thing I noticed is that the order didn't exactly line up/wasn't the same with the videos I've seen of that cake. Next time I'll probably buy a larger fish cake.
12: Kids loved it, definitely better than the videos make it out to be. Mine did however shoot a little faster than the video.
13: I definitely remember these being better. They were crap, didn't go higher than maybe 7 feet.
14: Was okay, nothing really made it stand out. Won it at a local store so I'm not complaining though.
15: Everyone loved these cakes, I definitely will shoot these again.
16: This was also a great cake, nice duration and breaks. I'll probably buy it again.
17: Large breaks, next time I'll probably try one of the other two in this line.
18: Great cake, had great vibrant colors. Although it did seem very similar to magic lamp. Long lasting.
19: I absolutely loved this cake, it had a great effect and big breaks. I'll definitely be buying it again.
20: Great colours and duration. Probably one of the best yellows I've seen in a consumer cake. Did seem very similar to pink lemonade though.
21: Similar reaction to the facebomb Cake, it was okay but nothing really made it stand out as great.
22: I was expecting it to be better, although I think someone made a mistake while fusing up the tubes as they all pretty much shot off at the same time which I was not prepared for. Next time I'll probably go for a "do or die" cake.
23: Pretty good, nice duration, nice colours and glitter. Worth the price.
24: these were nice small cakes, although I think there was a mix up as at least one maybe 2 of the shots had coloured stars in them instead of the normal crackle as seen in the videos. This consistently happened to all three cakes.
25: Also pretty good & has some nice colours.
26: As others have said, this cake is amazing, the breaks are phenomenal and very large.
27:Great cake, people loved it and enjoyed the sets of shots going off. Next time I'll have to get more cakes like that.
If you have any questions about any of the fireworks here feel free to ask me and I'll do my best to answer them.
