A Symphony of Flames: The FPAG's Most Captivating Performances

One of the most anticipated events organized by the FPAG is the annual Fireworks Extravaganza. This grand showcase of talent brings together FPAG members and other prominent pyrotechnic experts, enticing spectators with a sensational experience like no other. From dancing lights to thunderous booms, the FPAG members orchestrate a symphony of flames that ignites the night sky.

The Fireworks Extravaganza is known for its meticulously choreographed displays, perfectly timed to a carefully selected soundtrack. Each explosion resonates with the beat, as if the fireworks were performers in an intricate ballet. By combining art, science, and music, the FPAG crafts an otherworldly experience that enthralls all who witness it.

Another remarkable display put on by the FPAG is their Tribute to the Stars event. This pyrotechnic spectacle pays homage to renowned figures in the world of music, cinema, and sports, using fireworks as their canvas. Larger-than-life explosions of color and light depict the iconic faces and symbols associated with these legends, leaving spectators in awe of the artists' attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of their subjects.

The Florida Pyrotechnic Art Guild (FPAG) is one of the premier fireworks clubs in the United States. We are a group of fireworks enthusiasts, and professionals that practice and promote safety in fireworks, as well as safely building and displaying fireworks.

"The purpose of the Guild shall be to promote and encourage safe, legal, and artful pyrotechnic operation in Florida through training, demonstration, and exchange of information."

FPAG was founded in 1991, and we started our newsletter, "The First Fire," in 1992. In the years since then, our newsletter has included a wealth of articles on pyrotechnic. This knowledge collection includes formulas, tips, best practices, and techniques for building fireworks, constructing pyrotechnic components and devices, and putting on fireworks shows (both commercial and consumer).

The book takes those years of knowledge, experience, and know-how, and for the first time, makes some of it available outside the FPAG membership. The only problem is that there were so many excellent articles in our collection of newsletters. This book would have been huge if, as the editor, I tried to include them all. Therefore, FPAG plans to have multiple volumes in this collection, with more fantastic articles available in the future. In the meantime, this volume includes articles on:
•Ball Shells
•Canister Shells
•Rockets and Giradolas
•Ground
•Shows
•Formulas and Chemistry
•Stars and Insert
•Tools
•Other "How To" Articles

This book is also full-color so that we could include a lot of great photos from both our events and our articles.
