You will be given a 4ftx4ft square in which you can place your 1.4g. nothing can be outside of this square. Only consumer 1.4g with an ex# can be used (nothing home made). must be scripted to music and last between 4min 15sec and 5min 15 sec. the pyro must be secure in that it can't fall over. the method for securing it is upto you, but it will be checked. you make break cakes apart and refuse items as desired. NO 1.4G Proline can be used.

Need to start putting the finishing touches on mine.

Mines in the can

There have been some requests made on some horse trading at the event. If you want to bring some extra chems, equipment, or things that you made to sell (like those nice rocket scoops), I'm for it. You just can't sell or trade the obvious manufactured materials. So if you're looking to trade some rocket tooling, or made some fantastic pyro art or nick naks, or want to part with extra charcoal, feel free. ... See MoreSee Less

Good day Fireants. Setting up for the event. If anyone wants to script and setup a 1.3g 5 min display during the event. Submit a script to Jeremy Jandreau. IF you are using your own shells, budget for around $1250 worth for reimbursement. If you need shells, the club will provide (rough estimate) 6-6in shells, 12-5in shells, 60-4in shells, 72-3 in shells, and will see about 2.5in salutes. 1.4g will not be provided in this, but you may add it as you see fit. Shells provided will be assorted effect, if looking to sort out specific effects, please let me know.
Mortars and cobra mods will be supplied. please script it in cobra show creator or finale 3d for simplicity as it will be combined with 2 others.
Only requirement to try is to be a member. Please keep the number of positions simple as the equipment is borrowed and we'll be setting up more than one at a time. please submit your script by april 15th, and let us know if you'll be providing shells or need them provided.
More info on the event to follow.

Good news. Chris Stacey is running the spirit of 76 group buy and I'm working on one with pyroland.

Info on Pyroland list?

Info

When will we get the price sheets

Also do we now how many 4x4 boards are there going to be.

Group Buy is up and running. Information can be found on the forum on the PAT website.

I'll probably put up the group buy for igniters on the PAT forum. I'll probably also put up some 1.4pro/consumer if anyone wants to hop on my order and I'll bring it up to pyrofest if any club members are interested.

When do we get to see pyrolands list

I don’t see any lists on website anyone send a link please

Pyroland list will be a couple weeks as they're not finished with 2024 pricing

See yall there. I'll be posting a group buy for igniters about a month prior to pyrofest, maybe earlier.

Dirt Brigante Matthew Hernandez Brandon Hernandez let's go.. Can u give us more info.

Is Saturday the big night?? Just for us who like to watch 😊

Who’s producing displays?

Also wanted to mention that I'll be coordinating a pre-order buy for single shot racks. Any questions you can reach me via messenger or reply to this comment.

If you want to be the 2nd 5 minute display at spring pyrofest, submit your script and any audio to PAT. I'll figure out what the donated shell count will be and list that. The donated shells will not be a limit, you can add to it, but that isn't required and doesn't necessarily add to your chances. Sometimes less is more and creative use of black sky can be of value. Also, upto 3 large fuel mines will be donated.

This is open to any club member/members.

An approximate donated shell count to follow, but feel free to start scripting now as shell counts and types can be adjusted/tuned.

Finale 3d format is preferred, but cobra show creator works as well.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and is gearing up for a happy new year.
Once the holidays wind down, there will be some information drops on the spring pyrofest event.

Also, if you're interested in judging competition, DM Jeremy Jandreau.

I'd like to look at giving members the ability to sell/trade materials, chems, crafted items, etc. The difficulty will lay in finding a way to allow vending that doesn't prohibit those members involvement from the activities that they wish to perform. Open to suggestions on that.

Also, by the way of Vote, the club has ruled for 3 5min 1.3 displays instead of 1 15min display. I've selected those who will do the 1st and 3rd displays. There will be a contest to determine who will do the second display. Details for that will be posted tomorrow.

Have a great weekend and long live the Emporer.

Long live the Emporer!!!

I had a few conversations with John White, one of PAT's master shell builders and teachers. After talking with some suppliers and other builders today, quick match and time fuse are no longer available to be exported the USA from China, per Chinese regulations.

There are work arounds, but this is not good.

Couldn't we just cut quick match off shells?

The writing was on the walls a few years ago, I stocked up on several 1000ft ,,, chemical prices are getting just about out reach as well, if you want to continue building best get what you can or get a group buy going on certain must have items, KNo3, Klo4, any fireworks grade aluminum , ect

I guess spolletes and homemade quick match it is.

Due to popular demand, there will be a mini 1.4g competition at the spring event. Has to be a Pyro musical, no longer than 5min, fit on a board that is 4ftx4ft length and width. No pro line or OL's.

More rules to be announced tomorrow. This should at least get your noodles going
... See MoreSee Less

This is relevant to my interests... I know it's early, but are there tentative dates for the spring event yet?

Breaking down cakes fair game?

Do the mods have to fit on the board?

No pro line? Meaning no “Professional Use Only UN0431 ” and/or nothing from UN0336 that says pro line. I ask because vendors like SO76 sell both.

Is the show limited to one board?

Keep in mind these are going to be very heavy. Plus 48" width is to wide for my vehicle. I will probably need to cut it in 2 pieces and butt them up in the field.

Asking for a friend…..😳what’s OL’S?

How many entries will there bein total

Good idea. I like it. 👏

Just my two cents: these are affordable enough and only 5 minutes long. I’d say let however many people want to compete, compete…. Well, within reason, not really time for 30 entries…

A board of tannerite. Ok, ok. It would have been grand. A bunch of blue dots for everyone. Rofl

Just finished a first draft for my 4x4. I'm sure it'll get adjusted a few times before spring. It was on my mind so I sat down and scripted it.

Fun. Wish I was closer I'd jump in 🫡

Where’s this at?

Thank Yous for everyone's help at Pyrofest!: Deep thanks to Nelson's Fireworks for supporting the PAT Club for over 25 years & allowing us to hold events onsite at Caddo Mills, prepping the store & warehouse, mowing & prepping the fields, big shoutout to Rex, Robin, & Phil for managing the property and security! Sincere thanks to Carl & Steve for pulling the Permits and lending us their shoot trailer. Big thanks to all the Builders bringing their effects, material, and for teaching the classes: John for his amazing shell class, Chris for teaching the star class, Julian for his BP rocket class, Gary for his gas mine class (& for lighting gas mines periodically to assure we're awake) & for his PAT Safety Lecture! Deep thanks to Chris and Walt for organizing the Builder's Showcase Friday night with over 80 member built effects along with builder names & effect descriptions. For the Display Crews: Huge thanks to Derrick for his National Anthem, Micah for his 1.4 pyro musical, Emperor Jeremy for his 1.3 display finished via auto-fire, and to Nick for his 144 salute mascleta. My personal thanks to the mostly new member volunteers who built the racks and dropped the shells for the Builder's Showcase and Jeremy's 1.3G Display, PAT doesn't work without your help. Hot thanks to the Sjon, Tyler, and Gary & company for fighting the 25-30 grass fires during both display nights! Big thanks to Betty & her daughter for running registration & serving food, as well for Ken for managing our website & membership files, and for grocery shopping for food! Big thanks to Nick for making the Builder's trophies and making the merch for our club. Hungry thanks to Julian for smoking pork & boiling some tasty red potatoes to feed everyone on Saturday night. Above all, thanks to all the Members who trust us to put on Safe and Exciting Events, it's through your Memberships we can do what we do! Cheers, JJ. ... See MoreSee Less

Set date for next year asap so I can block off calendar.

Thanks to everyone who makes this event possible. I had a blast and can't wait for the next one.

I really enjoyed how active open shoot was Saturday night

It was nice to put together the national anthem and show it off in front of my fellow peers. I only changed the script 20 times. Hell I even changed a few things 30 minutes before I took it out to go set up in the field. Hope to do another one or pyromusical for the club in the near future

Thanks JJ, Thanks to everyone that helped at the event. Having the weight shared is growing and bettering our club!

Great time and a great learning experience, safety was the rule. Thanks to all! See you in Spring….

Don't forget, there will be a lone star shell competition this spring. Rules as follows: only one star may be used, no tails. Can be lifted via rocket or shell. They must be a star, not a type of insert or salute. (IE tourbillon, hummers, etc) don't count. Can change colors, Crossett, etc. Feels free to ask about a specific device if unsure.

Also, competition entries are be limited to 3 per category. The rest will go to builder's showcase.

My Son, Edric, is that age and is building shells, Mines, and Smoke Bombs. He is welcome to join in that or participate in the other stuff as well with your supervision. He is also bugging the rocket guys to see if he can make 6 small rockets to put on a girandola frame he has.

Hey Guys! Sorry, I’ve had a few too many irons in the fire lately and am a little late getting this posted. But, let’s get the group buy for the fall Pyrofest going! In addition to Spirit of '76, you may also purchase from my (NTP) inventory of Raccoon and Winda/Wizard product. There is a lot of great 1.4pro items available in the NTP list along with a selection of consumer and 1.3G (obviously, I’ll need your FEL on file for 1.3G orders). I’m also doing a buy for CraigCo comet racks. Let’s get a 30 rack order together from CraigCo and get the 20% off pricing (we can mix and match racks to get the 30 rack discount level).

Video of the PGI Oshkosh 2023 - MUM Member Built Display:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLw-SZsaQtI
(well get better video later)
      Congratulations to the MUM Pyro Family , led by Derrick & Hailee Miller, for their very successful display!  The MUM Pyro Family prepped all the product, supplies, gear, and supplies for the week months in advance.  A 70 person class of PGI members, mostly new builders, spent all week at PGI building & loading all of the  effects: including 3-8 shells, mines, comets, & salutes.  They were taught by MUM Pyro Family members.
       JJ thanks MUM for trusting him to be the Display Lead.  It was also a PAT Member group effort to help MUM get this show done: I thank James Howard of Pyroific Fireworks for lending me tons of pyro llama parts, giving me used Spirit tubes, and for adding Cobra addressing into Hailee Millers script.  I thank Duke Burge of Diamond D Pyro for giving me used Spirit tubes.   I thank Carl Standridge and Steve Vaughan of Big Boom for lending me 19-36Ms & 72Ms.  I thank Brian Wood and honorary PAT friends Brad Heitman & Joseph Oye for helping me flash, sync, channel, and label all the Cobras.  I especially thank Ted Lundy, Steve Meade, and PAT Prez Jeremy Jandrau of USG Pyro for towing my trailer to and from Texas to Wisconsin.
        The Display had 1847 cues, 47 Pod Positions, 128 Cobra Modules and 122 Cobra Channels.  Used Spirit of 76 tubes were reloaded with hand built comets and mines.  Spirit and Dominator 45-50mm tubes were reloaded and then dropped into 2 tubes for deployment.  The lightning effects were cued to Dragons Breath gas mines & large ground salutes.
         My deep thanks to all who helped out, especially to all the Class Members for their hard work, patience, and good cheer!

I thank Brian Wood and honorary PAT friends Brad Heitman & Joseph Oye for helping me flash, sync, channel, and label all the Cobra's. I especially thank Ted Lundy, Steve Meade, and PAT Prez Jeremy Jandrau of USG Pyro for towing my trailer to and from Texas to Wisconsin.
The Display had 1847 cues, 47 Pod Positions, 128 Cobra Modules and 122 Cobra Channels. Used Spirit of 76 tubes were reloaded with hand built comets and mines. Spirit and Dominator 45-50mm tubes were reloaded and then dropped into 2" tubes for deployment. The lightning effects were cued to Dragon's Breath gas mines & large ground salutes.
My deep thanks to all who helped out, especially to all the Class Members for their hard work, patience, and good cheer!

It's a lot of work that's actually fun! Glad to meet you there JJ! See you next time!

JJ, Hailee and I and the rest of the Mum Pyro team cannot begin to thank you enough for your hard work and dedication to this project. Having you on the build team is not only a pleasure but also an honor. Knowing we have a very experienced field operator standing beside us takes the stress level for us down more than you probably realize. At the end of the week when the build part of the show is done and we're able to hand the field off to you for loading is a tremendous relief. Thanks again to Jeff and the rest of the Fire Ants who put in so many hours of behind the scenes work to let a bunch of armatures play with pyro for a week.

Best small shell (2.5in-4in)
Best medium Shell
(5in-8in)
Best rocket
Most creative device. (Must function and be safe, no ther rules on this)

Trophy for first in each, 2 entries for each are allowed, Best small shell requires 2 of the same shell per entry for consistency check.

All right fireants, 2 points of pyro business to pass on. We WILL be doing another builders showcase at fall pyrofest. No limit on entries so if you want to demonstrate or test something, that's a great time to do it.

Second note. I'd like to add some competition to the club. Any suggestions will be taken into consideration. Categories is the first thing to nail down. As it stands, I'd like to have trophies and possibly some PAT swag.

We just did a Blind pyro competition with donations from many wholesalers, another club did a board competition and had a juniors category as well, limit people in some way and have fun with the results!

I’m down to help with awards. As for competition I’d suggest make some awards up for the show case and announce those. Like best color rocket, best shell 6 inch and below, best shell 8 inch and up, best alternative rocket effect( an effect using more than one rocket). I think we have enough building in the group for that.

Do we have for sure dates for next event?

Going to be nice.

SEND IT!

Sick!

Salute rack integrity contest. 🤠

What about a cake raffle everybody brings one and we have a raffle.

I'm down for a blind pyro competition!! I have NEVER been to Sky Wars or Chris Stacy's event but I'm definitely going to both this year, I don't care if I have to freaking walk I'm going!!!

Thought of another idea a 2 ft x 4 ft board with a show on it only 8 square foot show !

Best $100 dollar show?

So when is fall Pyrofest and how do I get into make or learn how to build fireworks feel free to msg me I would love to learn it's a dream of mine

I'd like to thank everyone that came out to spring pyrofest. I hope everyone had a good time. Big thank you to Carl for handling the permit, donating product and mortars for the 1.3g side of the display. Thank you JJ for helping on all aspects of the event and giving another great safety demonstration. Thank you to former El Presidenté Nick Sainz for helping sort out what needs to happen. Thank you to John White for another awesome shell building class. Thank you James Howard for that outstanding Blind display with 1.4g and 1.3g. Thank you Rex Nelson for hosting us and preparingthe site. A huge thank you to Robin Eaton for getting everything ready and helping out with everything.

Thank you Betty Sainz for helping with registration. Thank you Greg Hebert for providing the audio equipment and helping out.

I know this is a long post, and it would be much longer if I had the time. I'm thankful to everyone that came out and everyone that helped make this happen. I appreciate everyone's patience with me as this was my first event as El Presidenté.

It was a great learning experience for me and I got to see what went well and where I can smooth things out. I look forward to squaring up the fall event and hope to see you all there.

Damn sorry we missed it! Hopefully the next time❤️

Bummed that I couldn’t make it. I’m a new member from the Austin area and was hoping to come and possibly meet any builders who live in the greater Austin area. My main interest is rockets. Hopefully I will make the next one!

Son of a gun, didn’t know about the Blackstone… 😔 I’ll make up for this missed opportunity at Sky Wars…. Be ready James Howard All, Great job on the event this year. There was an “air of organization” that I hadn’t previously seen. Also, the builders showcase was fantastic!

The sausage was on point, plus James cooks bacon PERFECT! Shout out to Jeremy Jandreau for letting me crash at his cabin and shout out to Nemo Boss for putting Carlos Navarro and Carlos Bazemore in a cabin he had reserved. The cabins are rustic, but the company is Divine!

What was the deal with Topo Chico water? I saw everyone drinking them in all different colors. I got to know?

I am taking the plunge!

Can anybody do this? Does he need somebody with experience? I’m sure with experience would be preferred, just asking.

Last year a few people, including myself, helped run the wasps after class. I would be happy to help John again this year, but I will need someone who knows the whole process (i.e. John) to supervise and deal with the unexpected, since I am pretty new to the process.

Well, I pulled the trigger! I'm coming to Pyrofest!

Will we have any vendors? Like selling pyrotools racks paper tubes mortar tubes?

Did the buyer keep the Nelson's name?

PAT Pyrofest - Event Guide: qr1.be/0UO5

I don't think I'll be able to teach a full blown class on gerbs . But if you're interested in making one catch me at my table and we'll build one. Also if your wanting to build a DVC or a helicopter. I am bringing some of my wings for those.

I assume the tickets haven't ran out. I bought 2 extra but my friends aren't going to be able to make it. don't want a refund or buy from me, just want to be sure everyone who wants to go, can.

Hard for me to read lol

During open shooting on Friday, can we set off some 1.4G Pro product? There are some items I would like to preview for this summer. It wasn't clear if the Maroon box was just for the official 1.4G display or if the B line should be used.
