'Concert in the Sky' to help with 4th celebration
Local show lights night with fireworks, music
By J.P. Conroy Staff Reporter
TOPEKA — On Independence Day last year, the sun had set, it was 10 p.m. and 60,000 people waited in anticipation.
For the next 22 minutes they were enthralled. Fireworks jumped, danced and exploded to the strains of "Flight of the Bumblebee" and "Charities of Fire." The crowd rejoiced in their joy. The musically choreographed display cost more than $1,000 a minute.
"It totally is an emotional thing," Bob Botsford, coordinator for
"Concert in the Sky," said recently. "Just listening to the crowd and their whole reaction is really something."
"Concert in the Sky," in its third year, is part of Topeka's "Go 4th" celebration that began last weekend and will resume at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow on the campus of Washburn University at 21st Street and Washburn Avenue. The event is sponsored by television station KSNT and Washburn University. Admission is free.
"I don't know how many people they have seen the Washington, D.C. display and say that Topake is a best supervisor who is a studio supervisor at KSNT.
About 100,000 people are expected at tomorrow's activities, said Tom Ellis, Washburn Memorial St.
dent Union director and liaison for "Go 4th." It will be on a 40-acre field area on the south part of the Washburn campus.
Botsford said the station's parent corporation, Kansas State Network, in Wichita saw an opportunity for public service because there were no conditions to events to pull Topkens together after the demise of the Mid-America Fair.
Ellis said, "There certainly is a lot of community interest. The event is popular and this year it has almost doubled in size."
Paul Austin, a Wichita petechnician, was the originator of Topeka's choreographed fireworks display.
Botsford said. He said Austin had been putting on fireworks displays in Wichita, when that city asked him to do something special for a bicentennial celebration. Botsford said that was when he came up with the idea of putting music to fireworks.
Botsford said Austin moved from running his display in Wichita to training technicians for displays nationwide. They have produced shows in Hutchinson, Buffalo, N.Y., and Joplin, Mo.
Two pyrotechnicians will take four days to set up the displays, place the devices electronically. He said a technician would be at a control panel with a
pair of headphones to listen for fireworks cues.
"he's really got it down to a science," Botsford said. "And he knows his fireworks."
Another highlight of the event will be the naturalization oath taken by 75 new U.S. citizens before the fireworks display. Ellis said U.S. District Judge Richard Rogers would be administering the oath.
Botsford said, "The entire audience will stand and take the oath with them. If you haven't read the oath, it's really powerful."
Planes from a combat air museum will fly over the Washburn campus at 9 p.m.
