Jul 21 2024, 6:56 pm

Last night, Team Portugal fully delivered its radio-inspired theme for the first show of the 2024 Honda Celebration of Light international fireworks competition in Vancouver.

Radio DJ-like narrations welcomed the crowd and played out like a day’s worth of programming on a radio station.

The 25-minute fireworks soundtrack included hits such as “Bicycle Race” by Queen, “Get The Party Started” by P!nk, “One More Time” by Daft Punk, ” and “Under Pressure” by Queen & David Bowie.

A total of 15 pieces of music and songs were used for the 25-minute pyromusical, including various Portuguese songs closer to the finale.

This was Team Macedos Pirtecnia’s first-ever performance at the Honda Celebration of Light and the first show at the Vancouver fireworks festival designed by a pyrotechnics company representing Portugal since the mid-1990s.

The other two countries participating in the 2024 Honda Celebration of Light are Malaysia, represented by Team Pyro Tact, on Wednesday, July 24, and the United Kingdom, represented by Pyrotex Fireworx, on Saturday, July 27.
