Whether you’re a fireworks enthusiast, a seasoned professional, or just curious, this is the place to hang. The guys talk tips, tricks, techniques, best practices, and community and industry news.
When show day rolls around, chaos doesn’t have to. In this episode of The Rhythm Pyro Podcast, AJ, Jamie, and Bo offer commentary on critical site roles that keep a fireworks shoot site running like clockwork. From process identification, & position based sub-leads to technology specialists, safety officers, and assembly lines…they dive deep into the art of crew task delegation—who should be doing what, why it matters, and how strong leadership can turn a scattered crew into a synchronized team.
They’ll share real-world experiences (the good, and the bad), plus practical tips for planning your crew structure before boots & scooters even hit the field. Whether you’re leading a professional 1.3 show or wrangling friends for a backyard pyromusical, this episode is your guide to running a smooth, safe, and efficient shoot.
