So, a fellow "spectator" started playing the trumpet during fireworks
Forums:
Seemed kind of like another version of "harmonica guy" or "conch shell guy" who plays along with the band at a show.
Our fireworks in the mountains always includes giant booming explosions that are choreographed to the display ... and it's very cool to listen to the way it reverberates / echoes throughout the valley, but the trumpet playing national anthem and other "patriotic" tunes totally fucked with the effect

Not usually a fan of spectator contributions at a musical event, but it seems to me that a fireworks display is one place where it should be allowed - nay, encouraged!

We've had a ruling from the judges, yes "ooooh's and ahhhh's" are still acceptable ...

If I read this thread & have never seen experienced fireworks in the mountains designed to incorporate sound, I might think it "seems that way" too ... but until you hear the way the sound booms, reverberates, and echoes you might not realize the extent to which sound is an integral part of the show. There's clearly a precise choreography in terms of the timing of the booms in relation to the visual display ... and it's not necessarily the initial boom that's interrupted, but the slow "spatial echo" that's disrrupted

But, unless you're 30' FOB DFC, that "spatial echo" is going to vary. It's all "too much!"
You ever see a fireworks show truly choreographed to music? They do that here. Everyone turns on the same radio station and it works pretty amazingly well, even with spatial variances in boom echoes.

I wouldn't have so much an issue with "official" music; however, trumpet guy clearly wedged his way into the picture in a very slick way ... who's really going to tell him to stop playing the National Anthem on the 4th of July?
