How loud are they? DD is scared of the noise when they are shot off, not the actual fireworks. She'll watch from the car on the 4th of July as long as she can't hear the booms! I've heard you can watch them from the beach at the Poly (which is where we'll be staying), but can you still hear the story and music that goes along with them? Really, really want to see them, but I've heard it's the storyline that makes it, not so much just the fireworks.
