Melrose Pyrotechnics Takes First Place.

Melrose Pyrotechnics, Inc., Kingsbury, IN -- Melrose Pyrotechnics performed an originally designed display on July 19th, 2006 for L’International des Feux Loto-Québec at La Ronde in Montréal, Canada.

Melrose was one of nine companies/countries competing in the 22nd installment of this world famous fireworks competition. The Montréal International Fireworks Competition is the largest of its kind, attracting an average of 2.9 million spectators annually.

Melrose gave its regards to the majestic world of Broadway with a production entitled “Curtain Call.” Eight acts of Broadway musicals, including The Sound of Music, Chicago, West Side Story, and The Phantom of the Opera, were choreographed with unique products from around the world. Six months of design and preparation brought these musicals to life on our own pyrotechnic stage.

What began in 1985 as a gathering for friendly exchanges between colleagues in the fireworks industry has, two decades later, unquestionably become a centerpiece event in the spectacular world of professional pyrotechnics.
