"We are often asked why we try to attend and experience every 2pm Mascleta. Don't they all sound the same? Why is it even considered a form of art? Well, because it is.
The precision required to fire every single firework component at the right time in tune with all the other parts requires a lot of planning ahead. Additionally, it has to sound right (creating a rhythm and needs to build up), and there should also be a section of surprise.
In this particular case, the finale fired too early, and only the aerials were shooting at the end. When we were standing there, we were extremely confused because it seemed off and wasn't like any Mascleta we had seen before. Later, we learned that the firework wasn't shooting correctly.
We feel really bad for Pirotecnia Dragón, since these fireworks are part of a competition and are very important to the business for the year. However, we hope that the legacy of Pirotecnia Dragón from previous years will help them to overcome this year's faux pas."
