Title: M2 for New Year's Firework?
Post by: bluesbreaker on January 01, 2011, 03:48:45 PM

Hello folks, was there any scenarios where the final 10 minutes are used for any firework show? I've never heard it.
Thought the Beethoven 9 and 1812 Overture are far more common and suitable pieces for fireworks.
Anyway, this year marks the 100 anniversary for Republic of China(or Taiwan)'s existence. So a gargantuan firework show took place in, literally, the whole Taipei City, with the 101 Tower as the heart of the show. I was there and it was incredible.

The M2 starts at 2:30 or so. You be the judge.
Happy New Year!!!  :D  ;D
