It's been bugging me for a while and I finally had to say something.
It would appear that responsibility for the problems that caused a 19 minute delay to Team Canada's display were taken in full by LaRonde.
It really strikes me as odd that the first Canadian display by a company from outside of Quebec has major technical problem, 19 minutes worth, which requires a technician go and solve, (it is debated whether Hands represented Canada way back was from Ontario or Quebec). It just seems very strange the severity of the problem and origin of team is very ironic. I hope the next Canadian team from the West or East Coasts receive a technically flawless display.
I don't think this was the best display of the year, the afore-mentioned two segments of narration, and what I thought was overuse of Gold. Lots of Willow/Gold Rain looks. But there was great timing and some neat looks (too bad the waterfall never fully functioned, what a sweet look it would have been). And of course the finale. Salutes everywhere! and the colours! Bright, beautiful and loud was the finale.
To end, I hope we see Fireworks Spectacular again, and get a chance to see their program from start to finish without any interuptions.
