Fireworks

So, I and my family missed the 4th on July and are gonna do fireworks tonight.  I need your help deciding on the order of them, kinda plan the show.  My Uncle and I will be doing it, and we have fuses so we can link fireworks together, IE set 10 off at teh same time.  Here is what we have to work with:

12 mortor shells (explode like real fireworks, the kind that you go to see)
24 bottle rockets
8 warhawk missles (shoot into the air and burst into flames)
4 roman candles
6 tanks (shoot forward then explode)
24 30 second smoke bombs
4 2 minute smoke bombs
300 firecrackers (yes, 300)
36 snakes

Here is what I thought:

1. use all the snakes before we "start" and some firecrackers
2. light 6 smoke grenades along with 6 bottle rockets shooting from behind them and 4 tanks in front
3. light 2 2 minute smoke nades, have tanks shoot through smoke
4. shoot 2 mortor shells
5. light 4 smokes and have 4 warhawks shoot behind them
6. use 2 2 minute smokes with 6 30 second smokes with 6 bottle rockets and 2 roman candles
7. shoot 4 mortar shells with 60 firecrackers and 2 warhawks
8. finale:  8 smokes infront, 100 firecrackers with 12 bottle rockets (shooting in quick pairs) followed by 2 roman candles (together) followed by 2 warhawks (together) then 6 mortars

If I knew what that was

But all we ever have are fountains (thats all thats legal where I live, but these will be set off in a legal place) and the occasional firecrackers.  So we opted not to do any fountains, we have had our share of them.

Ill second that... "Black Cat, there is no substitute, except maybe dynamite or c4..."

Best idea I can give you. 500 G cakes. About $40-80 a peice but damn worth it. I spent about $300 this year on fireworks, and retail it would of been close to $500-600 give or take.

wow sounds like you have some nice stuff

Give redcrackers to everyone before you start and just let them light them off like crazy.

All i know is that mortars should always be last.
