Have you ever wanted to see a meteor shower? Or how about a fiery comet streaking across the sky? Well, at Rhythm and Booms at Warner Park in Madison, Wisconsin, that is exactly what you will see!

The U.S. Army Golden Knights will perform two jumps on July 3rd for the Rhythm and Booms fireworks show. The Team will jump at 5:15 pm and again at 9:05 pm, as part of their spectacular night pyrotechnics show. The jumpers will wear special leg brackets fitted with several sticks of pyrotechnics, which emit showers of brilliant white sparks as the jumpers fly through the air at 120 miles per hour.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to see the greatest parachute team on earth drop in to Rhythm and Booms from 12,500 feet above the ground and land on a target the size of a medium pizza. After the jump you will have a chance to meet the Team and get autographs, and even help them pack their parachutes!

For more information on the show, visit the Rhythm and Booms website http://rhythmandbooms.com and don’t forget to follow us on Twitter for up to the minute information about the Team’s whereabouts and activities @armygk.
