by Melissa Chiasson

Emcee segues from live music performance to fireworks display, thanks families for coming out to the celebration, reminds audience that the theme for this year’s event was “America’s Birthday.”

Cue music—2 Chainz, “Birthday Song”

Note: the emcee may signal to cut the music at this point, as this was not the agreed upon introductory song.

After second iteration of “All I want for my birthday is a big booty ho,” fire red, white, blue Roman candles.

Fire on sparklers that spell out “AMERICA”

Fire on sparklers that spell out “FUCK YEAH”

Note: at this point the emcee might attempt to stop you from continuing, as this is nothing like the show you pitched to the city council. Punch him in the face and barrel right through to:
