00:00Hey, what's up?
00:00It is T Gentry, my buddy Craig from Thompson, and we're at Thunder over Evans.
00:05This is like the setup, folks.
00:06And Craig, tell us a little bit about this incredible firework.
00:11Incredible probably doesn't describe it, probably even double incredible.
00:16What you see sitting back here in the back with all the fuses and stuff,
00:18that's the majority of that is the finale.
00:21In other words, at the end of the show, when everybody starts being prepared to
00:25put stuff in their ears and cover their heads and put on their glasses,
00:29that's the finale.
00:30There's probably close to 10,000 shells in the finale.
00:34If you take all the surrounding shows, and I do most of them,
00:37there's not even 10,000 shows in all I'm putting together.
00:39That's just the finale.
00:41This is what you see up front is eight locations of a new item
00:47that I'm bringing to the board called Cracklefest.
00:49Nobody knows about it except y'all.
00:52Cracklefest, never been seen before.
00:56You've got to come here to see it.
00:58How much money are we talking with this shoot tonight?
01:00You'd have to speak to Mr. Thompson on that, but it's a lot.
01:03It's a lot of money.
01:04It's a lot.
01:05It's one of the biggest in the south, right?
01:07Southeast it is.
01:08Okay.
01:09It is.
01:09As far as shell consumption, as far as time, as far as the compaction,
01:14not only that, we're doing fireballs.
01:16We're doing close to 250 gallons of gasoline fireballs.
01:20We have drones, 10-minute drones.
01:23That's incredible, by the way.
01:24Yeah.
01:25The show is choreographed.
01:27The show is set up and scripted to the choreograph of music.
01:30The drones will fly to this music.
01:32The fireworks will be shot to this music.
01:34The fireballs will go off to this music.
01:36The crackle fest will go off to this music.
01:39It's just a complete system.
01:42Pyro shows out of East Coast, Catawba, South Carolina,
01:46especially, and Pyro shows Tennessee.
01:49We have crews here from Tennessee.
01:51We have crews here from North Carolina.
01:53I have the fireball dudes coming all the way from Memphis to help out on this.
01:58This is not a small production.
01:59This is a big production.
02:01Folks, this is stuff you see in Atlanta or-
02:04It's better than Atlanta.
02:05Yeah, it's going to be incredible.
02:07So come on out, get set up today.
02:09I think gates open at 5 tomorrow.
02:12The program starts at 615, so yes, 5.
02:15Okay.
02:165 tomorrow.
02:17Columbia County, it is Thunder over Evans tomorrow.
02:18Thank you, buddy.
02:19Appreciate it.
