Might check it out next time. Missing the music is no bid deal. At least to my truly atonal ears the connection between visuals and questionable musical selections was at best tenuous, at worst nonexistent.

I walked there couple hours before the event, setup my tripod and started to read National Geographic to kill time. By the time event started, one photographer with tripod was about five meters from me. What comes to rest of the crowd, I had people within 2 meters in every direction (except in front of me), but since people were more or less standing where they had sit down, it didn't feel that crowded and it didn't have effect on my photography. Only real downside on my spot was that you couldn't hear the music that was supposed to go along with pyrotechnics.

Where did you set up the works? And how crowded was it up there? The third image is indeed very much on the dull side, but it's pretty much the only one without distractions in the picture. Nice work.

Third photograph is a bit dull, because it only has one rocket in it. All my photographs from the event were taken at 5-13s exposures (on tripod with cable release) with low ISO and small aperture.
