Judges’ Comments

Solid show but simple design. Not enough emphasis on colour or effect separation…a little too mixed up.
Too much the same. Red and green throughout.
Repetitive rhythm. Quiet sequence too short. Underwhelming. The climax worked nicely.
A bit same, same. Good use of different altitudes. Fantastic ending.
Jubilee?
No/little variation in Rhythm. Jubilee???

Excellent colour and use of colour with Fx. Good pace, interesting, with good build and drop. Wow factor was there.
Did not want it to stop.
Stunning colour sequences. Great use of low, mid and high level. Not afraid to let individual styles/effects breathe. Very confident design.
Good clear sequence. Lots of colour in the middle. It was a treat for the eyes. Great long-lasting waterfall effect. Strong finish.
Huge variety and height. Used whole area.
Great variety and sequence. Great use of colour.

Terrific noise. Exciting use of noise and set-piece aerial arrangements. Great finale, perhaps too mixed at points.
Full on display.
Big on drama. Not a lot of subtlety. A real crowd-pleaser.
Filled the sky well. Red, white and blue was a little short. Good ring effect like halo. Super double peak ending.
Amazing impact. Loud! Sequenced!
Lots of variety. Good use of colour. Lots of noise.

Lots of variety. Great use of angles and symmetry. Good tempo and some novel effects. Terrific display.
Wow.
Terrific. Great use of colours and change of sequence. Great use of breadth and height. Good use of “quiet” and “noise”.
Just fab. Fireworks in the water added to variety. Massive bangs at the end. Great colour. Just wow.
Stunning impact. Lovely low-level work.
Good height and width. Great variety.

Strong multi-colour sequences. Very exciting finale. Good use of height but display was very narrow.

Amazing ending. Lots of similar stuff. Amazing height.
