Malta Fireworks Festival 2009 - Winner ProFormance Pyrotechnics - Australia

The 2009 Malta International Fireworks Festival is finished with ProFormance Pyrotechnics of Australia placing 1st Place against Malta, Italy and Poland.

The display consisted of 1600 shells fired in a 15 minute Pyromusical themed to various stage production soundtracks. the title being "The Show Must Go On". Earlier in the evening prior to the firing of the ProFormance Pyrotechnics display, a Maltese 8" Cylinder Multibreak shell landed on the firing platform and ignited almost 170 5" and 6" Display shells in an instant. This caused major problems from the Australian team, which then had to isolate various modules for safety reasons in order to allow their display to still fire at the Midnight time slot. Even though the display had some technical problems due to this stray 8" salute , it still was voted as the best of the festival. The display was scripted by Chad Barrett on Showsim 3D and fired by Fireone. For more pictures and information please view www.proformancepyro.com .
