Apparently they had planned out a 30-minute show, but the music was only 20 minutes long, so it didn't synch up right. In addition, there were a couple of really early detonations that caused other fireworks to not launch. My understanding is that this is the first time something like this has happened, so although it wasn't an ideal situation, I suspect it won't happen again.
