How do you choreograph a fireworks show?
Slate Magazine: "With a pen and paper or on the computer. First, the sponsor of a fireworks show will tell the pyrotechnics company what music they want to use for their display. (Sometimes they let the company decide.) The choreographerthen listens to the music several times through to get an idea of which shells to use. Felix Grucci, who does the choreography for one of America's most prominent fireworks companies, will play the piece six or seven times at high volume before he starts writing out his ideas."
