Pouring confetti onto a cheering crowd might seem foolproof, but it never hurts to have a dry run.
At the stroke of midnight every year during the Times Square New Year’s Eve celebration, thousands of pounds of confetti are dumped onto the cheering crowd. But while the act might seem foolproof, thanks to skyscraper-created wind currents and the force of gravity, it never hurts to have a dry run.
“The first test, the confetti was going in the wrong direction, down towards Herald Square," he said. "So we learned we had to throw the confetti down to make the confetti come up, and then it was perfect.” The mixed feelings around the holiday were evident in the crowd that came out to watch the confetti test. Afterwards, Emily Cimaszewski and Paolo Copanong scooped up handfuls of confetti for their Instagram photos, but said they were staying away from the main celebrations in favor of a small gathering with friends at home.
