World Pyro Olympics 2009

Updated: 07/10/09

The World Pyro Olympics is moving to a new location which means that this year it will have new rules, new shows, new effects and new participants

This year, the World Pyro Olympics is packing up and moving to Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City. The competition for this year is already looking promising because, this year it will be a pyromusical competition. Each of the 10 shows that will be presented are going to be synchronized to music and is now worthy to be called a Pyromusical. As promising as the competitions is, the list of participants this year can only tell us that the World Pyro Olympics 2009 will only bring up the competition to a much higher level. This year’s schedule is as follows:

14 November – Korea and USA
21 November – Germany and China
28 November – Japan and Australia
05 December – Canada and Italy
12 December – Highlights from the participants — La Mancha Group International (closing display)

We should watch how Parente will try to defend their title as The Champions and at the same time we must watch out how the other participants try to get the most coveted World Pyro Olympics trophy. I’m sure that the shows this year will be much complex than the show’s we’ve seen in the past. Since they moved the competition in The fort we must expect a wider firing pad and ofcourse more one shots (I Wish). More Updates are coming soon This event will be held from November 14 to December 12 2009, Every Saturdays

Canada’s Pyro Studios and France’s Fetes Et Feux

After 1 week of waiting it was time again for me to witness the World Pyro Olympics. This time the rain came in later and it just got hard right before the first display! Whoo bad luck huh?? Hehe!! I guess this bad luck all turns around when you’re talking from a pyro enthusiast’s view of point! It makes a whole lot of difference hahah!! This was because the two shows today were so great that all I thought was that the “real” competition is starting. Finally I saw some real salutes!! Hahaha!! I was so wet during the display hehe!! So it’s show time.

 

      Pyro Studios of Canada

     They started their display with a giant green chrysanthemum if I’m not mistaken. I really didn’t see it I just saw the tail come out because I was inside a restaurant because of the heavy rain. Anyways that’s how it all started. After that were different segments. Sorry I’m not sure about the order so ill just explain each of the segments that I can remember! First one I could remember was the red and green rings with crackling centers in a z fanned formation. While that was exploding and everything giant rings above was also explode. The effects above were mainly comet rings to red stafe shuttle and crossettes comet rings with crackling center. After this I can remember one segment were different multi colored peonies with coco core were exploding in a 3 layered fashion wan in the center then 2 above it then a large one. Together with this was also multi colored peonies with glitter cores. There was also a segment with color changing chrysanthemums. The 3 middle shots were exploding from left to right then the two higher shots explode then a large green to orange peony on the top then the middle peonies exploded from right to left then the same thing follows. There was also a strobe segment that was mainly composed of 2 color changing peonies from red to white strobes then giant white strobes on the top. There was also a part with giant red spirals. One part was made of different colored dahlias. Some were yellow and some were yellow with orange. On top of these dahlias were lavender dahlias. Their crossettes segment were made of many red and orange crossettes. Some pink and blue crossettes were also present. After this was a barrage of chrysanthenum that were fired in z formation and they were like meeting each other. After this was many peonies exploding everywhere making a great finale. After a sudden pause the display comes back to life again. Just when everyone thought the display was over a new segment started. This time it started with horsetail mines in just one side of the both. I think that due to the rain only the half side of the fronts where fired. After a few shots of the golden horsetail mines were charcoal horsetails and on top was charcoal willow to red or green. After this a cake in a z pattern fired. The effect was multi colored falling leaves. Above these where also shells of multi-colored falling leaves with fish. Another segment was composed of z comet to crackling chrysanthemum cakes below and silver electric comet shells above. The only bad comment I could make about the show was that half of the fronts didn’t fire but the phase of the show was fast enough for the audience not to get bored. I think that the fake finale had a big impact on everyone. The shells used were great especially the multi colored peony with glitter core and the red to white strobe peonies. The finale started with golden tiger tail crossettes. After a few shots white peony added in. The phase increased in more and more for quite a long time. Then the final blow was made of many deafening salutes I couldn’t even hear my shout but when the salutes ended I realized that I was shouting so loudly hahahha

 

     Fetes Et Feux of France

     The display started with a salute segment. First it was just pointing up then as it got a bit faster the salutes were firing left then right then left and right. Then the first shots of roman candles fired with an orange with silver crackling tail effect, 3 to the left and 3 to the right. Then a barrage of salutes fired making everyone in the audience deaf hahaha. After this was a carpet bombing of a multi layered double cored peonies.

     The main display started with red comet with silver tail candles. It was arranged this way \/ \/ \/. Then some more added up arranged this way \\\\////. Then back to the orang crackling comet candles. After that red comet candles started firing again tohether with a red mine cake! This time charcoal comet with crackle candle in a large fan formation went up. As this was firing low breaking peonies with crackling core in red was firing. A crackling crossette cake started together with green peony with white then charcoal coco pistil and cylindrical crackling chrysanthemum with salutes fired on mid level. This segment ended with another multi layered bombardment of crossettes making the sky filled with smoke.

     The next Section started with a fanned light blue roman candle. Silver comets in a 3 pointed fan added in with a silver go-getter-ish mine on the middle. Another set of the light blue candles went up together with more comets this time all pointing up.As the blue candles finished more silver comets fired 4 to the left and 4 to the right. Then the silvers mines added in again this time there was just 4 with a gap somewhere between the last two ones.More of this fired in a fan this time together with shells of palms above. Then blue mines arragned this way \l \l \/ l/ l/. Blue peony with crackling pistils added in. A final 3 shot of shells of palm brought the segment to a close. 

      The next section shows different kinds of strobe effects. It started of with 2 double cored chrysanthenum. The outer core had a silver comet to green strobes effect while the inner core had a purple strobe effects. Above were 3 smaller green gamboge chrysanthenums. In the middle of this two were 3 palm shells. This theme continued and a barrage of smaller white strobe shells brought this section to an end. 

      The next section started with orange with silver tail comets arranged like this \ \ \l/ / /. This continued for a while then purple go-getter-ish mines added in, in a fan position. This continued and changed to candles of orange crossettes with silver tail with blue mines below. Above was 2 yellow peonies and one blue peony in the middle. This pattern continued until it became all blue peonies. Next was the final shot of the 2 yellow peonies. The next variation of shells were 3 blue peonies below and one big purple peony above good color combionations i thnk.

     After this was a section made of crossettes and peonies. It started of with yellow candles. After a while a fan of orange peony and yellow peonies fired from left to right then 2 purple crossettes fired above. This theme continued. Below a fan of charcoal to crackling candle replaced the previous yellow candles. This segment was brought to an end by a barrage of different colored far falles. 

      The Next section started with green candles with silver tail. Large and thin green crossette mine candles and silver comet candles made the lower portion thicker. This continued with a fan of pinkish crossette mine candles with the same colored chrysanthenums above. This continued and below a great fan of silver flittering crossette fired with green candles and green peonies above. After a while silver comets added below and a fan of green sky mines fired with silver palms and large green peonies with crackling pistils above. As the green sky mines ended green with silver tail scrambling comets added in in the middle above. As thesecotinued the effects chaged to green with silver candles below and green to silver comet peony above and in the middle were silver chrysanthenums. This long section came to an end with Large silver kamuro shells and barrage of large red peonies.

     The final segment started with great charcoal horsetails. I could tell that the audience liked this effect a lot. They even cheered more when silver horsetails with green strobe added above. This horsetails reached the water hahaha. Below a fan of green candles with red mine cakes below fired as the horsetails were changed to golden willows. As the candle and mines ended willow comets fired and bigger golden willows fired above, at this time i could tell that this will be a long finale!. This continued with more and more willows in different sizes. Orange crossettes with silver tail also added in. The willows stopped for a while together with the willow comets then the pace got higher when salutes fired then more willows fired above. This just kept continuing until the audience were so deaf already. Then shells of golden willows with golden tails fired as well. This continued with more and more salutes and we heard the lift charges of the final barrage of shells. The final barrage was made of willows, red and orange crossettes and salutes. As the salutes below fired more salutes above fired covering all the willows with salutes as the flashes of the salutes came out the people could see the golden willows still reaching the ground.

     This display has been one of the grandest display i’ve seen in World Pyro Olympics. The effects used were great. There were so many effects used specially with the roman candles. I really like their cylindrical crackling with salute shells. The division of each sections were also made clear by the barrage of shells. It was a great show overall. The finale was quite a big surprise. The length was perfect everyone was screaming for more and they gave use more. This year they probably used the most effects so far. And so far they have a big chance of winning the title.

Oh and it’s quite hard to pick my winner for this week so maybe you can tell me your own comments on the displays and if you have a winner then tell me hahaha! See you all next week .
