Good luck! They are banned here in Hawaii, but that didn't stop people from setting off commercial grade aerials in their front yard, burning down their house, etc.
Hawaii has a long Asian fireworks tradition, where the loudness is an important part of frightening away evil spirits. Drone displays are pretty, but lack loudness!
