My instant reaction to the shows I saw this week! Thank you 76 Pro Line for sponsoring instant reactions!

Here’s the instant reaction to the PGI competition shows and shells. Brought to you exclusively by 76 ProLine.

In this episode of Pyro Talk, we’re joined by fireworks designer Travis Kramer to dive deep into the behind-the-scenes story of his show, Take Flight. What was supposed to be a soaring pyromusical quickly turned into a logistical nightmare when relentless rain and flooding threatened to ground the entire production. Travis walks us through how he and his crew fought back against mud, water, and weather delays to bring the show to life.

We also explore his creative process—how he approaches designing pyromusicals, the story-driven philosophy behind his cue choices, and why emotion and structure matter just as much as shells and sparkle. It’s a masterclass in perseverance, creativity, and what it really takes to make a show fly.
