Cut some tree branches, shape them to resemble rifles. Tie Roman candles to them.

You're welcome.

Yeah, I don't know anything about them, I just wanted to see some on YouTube.

Also, I was reminded of the Best Fireworks Show Ever video.

So was that intentional or a fireworks disaster?

Depends on where you live.
I know a place that has 500 grams for $22.95, kiddie stuff starting at $0.10, 6 Artillery shells and canon for $4.95, etc.

IFor adults: artillery shells (Diablo, Excalibur, Smoke N Mirrors) ~$ 2-4/shot. Ask which has most black powder.
Fountains- 100ft fountain, and some of the more expensive ones. You get what you pay for, ask about height and how long it lasts.
Finale’s- you get what you pay for. None of them will last more than a couple minutes but will range from 9 shots to 200+. Expect to start no cheaper than $20 and around $1/shot after that.

If you have kids- keep them busy with cheap sparklers, cheap bottle rockets and individual firecrackers like m-150 or water dynamite. Don’t waste money on a pre-made package.

FWIW - I pass other stores to drive to a specific small tent in Denham Springs at range/Mongolia bridge because the dude is knowledgeable and honest, but a little off. He also posts here.

You need to find the guys in trucks driving around selling them if you want to save money.
