OK, I didn't see your DIM C() _Unsigned Long so I added that. I wondered where all the colors were.
I reduced it down to around the amount of explosions you had.
CLS after trajectile doesn't seem to clear the shadows, but that's OK, they are cleared when a new one starts anyway.
I also edited the booms numbers to the amount used. Here is the code. A background image would be cool!

Ken, I hope you don't find me picky but when my name is on there too...
Up to you, of course, but I made some changes to your last. CLS before next rocket goes up really does clear all traces of last firework. I added _delay for first 20 booms and when the sound changes at 20, so should the limit change to 500 for rapid fire. I also changed the spread of firework to rnd from rnd*2. That's my taste, if you prefer rnd* 2, OK.
Here is my suggested edits:

Looks great B+! One thing you should know, that you might not know, is that I actually had it speed up twice, the middle one still showed the rocket but it was blasting off a a lot sooner than the first 10 ones. That is why that delay line was set to 10. But it's OK, I still like your version. Your new delay wouldn't be compatible with the faster shooting rockets anyway.

OK, here it is all packaged up. Thanks for your help B+, I really like it. I didn't add or change anything from your edit above. By the way, this will be my last version. I need to relax now and not think about this anymore. I do like it though!

"I need to relax now and not think about this anymore. I do like it though!"
Well the creative muse will do that to you but what an improvement! what a growth experience!
That fade method is nice way to do fireworks, for me the question remains how to get a background behind it to stay visible while fading the trails of burst.
Yeah I tried a background, I'll post it here if anyone wants to try adding it. The way the loops are, I don't know if it's possible, even without trails. But most likely I just don't know the right code. I used the flipping code from my Christmas Balls (except loading a picture instead), but no luck.

Thanks Steve, but I did it another way! Instead of using LINE to erase the whole screen to make trails, I made the trails themselves fade! It works!!!!!
The trail graphics actually don't change, but using the 4th color number as 10, the more trails that are together makes it brighter and the more the trail scatters it is less.
Check this out guys. The fireworks themselves aren't as bright, but I like the effect.

@SierraKen eh, not quite the same, but man was that a simple change!
@SMcNeill I never worked with layers before, I sure could use an example of blocking/fading by using fade technique with Line (0,0)-(_width, _Height), _Rgb32(0,0,0,10), BF ie fix this and add your name to the developers. Seems to me that line/tinting buildup is going to block out anything underneath.
