Friday 9/27 WORKSHOP: “Master Single Shots with Finale 3D & iShot”
Presented by Finale3D, Spirit of ‘76, iShot, and CraigCo
10 AM Seminar at Aspen Center, Sycamore Room, Innsbrook Resort (993 Aspen Lake Cir Dr, Innsbrook, MO 63390)
4 PM Hands-On Field Session at the Pyro Area (see map above)
Don’t miss this incredible learning opportunity! All registered attendees are welcome and there
is no cost to attend.
Join Drew Espenshade from Finale 3D, Brian Craig from CraigCo, and Jonathan Suchoski from
‘76 Pro Line for a taste of single shot perfection. This session features both a classroom seminar
and hands-on experience setting up single shots with the cutting-edge new iShot system.
During the morning classroom session, attendees will learn how to simplify their workflow and
save time by utilizing Finale 3D’s new racking, addressing, and setup management tools with real
‘76 Pro Line products, CraigCo iShot racks, and the Cobra firing system.
The afternoon session will feature hands-on experience setting up the evening’s closing display by
‘76 Pro Line. Attendees will have the opportunity to work with the innovative iShot system, which is
15X FASTER than traditional single shot setups. You'll see for yourself how this technology can
transform your approach, letting you set up in even less time than it takes to script. Experience it
first-hand — your single shot process will never be the same!
To attend this session, follow Google Maps to the Aspen Center address above. When you reach
security, let them know you’re attending the fireworks seminar and they will let you pass.

Where do I pick up my T-Shirt that I preordered?
Your T-Shirt will be waiting for you at the check-in table with your wrist band and meal tickets if you ordered them.
I didn’t order a T-Shirt, can I still buy one onsite?
We will have some limited hats and shirts available for sale onsite. They will go fast, though!
Can I have a popup or big umbrella in the seating area?
No pop ups in the show seating area at any time. Yes, even if you’re going to take it down before the show.
You’re welcome to set that popup anywhere else on the property - by the cars, by the registration tent, etc. Just
not in the seating area.
Can I bring a cooler?
Pyro attendees may bring in outside food and drink. However, the public right behind you may not. So BE COOL about it.
Try to keep it discreet to the extent possible.
Camping
If you registered for a campsite, mention that at check-in and they can help you find your spot.
