4 of July Fireworks radio soundtrack

S

secondchoice

With the big 250th 4th of July coming this weekend is any radio station going to synch music to fireworks? It's been done in the past but the only times I heard of it being done was pre HD. PBS has the band playing the overture 1812 and the cannons are synced up but that's only one song.
 
Here in Mankato, MN they do it every year on a few radio stations who calls it Red Hot Boom!
Choreographed music can be heard on Radio Mankato stations Hot 96.7; Minnesota 100; and Classic Rock 94.1 KXLP.

Philly radio does it every year on New Year’s Eve (there are fireworks every New Year’s Eve in addition to July 4th) but not on July 4th.

With the history of Philadelphia, one would think the 4th of July would be really be a really big celebration. Get a cheese steak sandwich and a lawn chair and I would be set to watch some serious fireworks 🎆
