We decided quite late on to go to the display at Baker's Field not having been to see any fireworks for several years. It's normally just the fact that Rosie gets so upset by them that causes us to notice it's that time of year again. However, Glen and Dan were keen to go and off we went little knowing how good they'd be.
The arena was full of bright lights and crowds of families alongside the milling groups of teens enjoying the rides and sounds of the fair. A live band did a very good range of covers including lots of blues but being Graham Mack's Blues Band I guess that was only to be expected. He's the morning DJ from 2CR and he made a good impression on the crowd with lots of confidence before leading the countdown to the fireworks. They were spectacular and set to music including the fianl part of the 1812 overture, cannon sounds included. You could feel the explosions speed through you they were that strong.
I was much more impressed than I'd expected although Glen and Dan played it all down being far too cool to say it was any good.
