Drone displays are increasingly popular.

The average number of drones for a Sky Elements performance is 300 typically costing $45,000 all included. Though costs have been dropping, they’re still usually higher than for a large fireworks production, which averages about $1,000 a minute and usually lasts about 20 minutes.

Those are really boring. It’s the same experience wether watching on TV or in person.

    Home theater systems have a hard time mimicking the “boom” noises.
