An urban site meant the available launch area was small and close to occupied buildings on three sides — the design used exclusively 3-inch and 4-inch shells specifically because NFPA 1123’s minimum distances for those sizes were the largest that fit the available clearance, and low-smoke compositions were mandatory under the venue’s air-handling agreement with neighboring tenants.
The five-minute sequence is dense by design: a high cue rate throughout rather than a slow build, matching the energy of the company’s own launch-video soundtrack rather than a traditional finale-shaped curve.
