BEST COMPOUND 2023

VIVID PYROTECHNICS - EL LOCO

Vivid Pyrotechnics have won best compound for the first time with their relatively new El Loco.
This compound fires 268 shots over two and a half minutes with a mixed tube size of 25 and 30mm.
El Loco starts big with ten instantaneous shots breaking with beautiful blue and gold willows flanked by ghost horsetails then into rapid straight firing red blink brocades, white tipped brocades and a fanned volley of ti-chrysanthemum and that’s just in the first 30 seconds. Fans of vividly coloured crossettes, crackling spider breaks and willows follow, climaxing in a huge series of fanned multi colour peony and ti-chrysanthemum volleys and a final volley of dirty gold to crackle brocades. This compound is truly worthy of the title ‘a display in a box’.
