Finals DVDs


Recommended Posts

So I was short on funds before, but now I'm looking to order this year's CDs and DVDs. However, I can't find that option anywhere on DCA's website. Where is that located?

They took it down. Likely due to paying for distribution rights to the music.

Does that mean there is a delay in getting them shipped out to customers that have already purchased them?

they presell as much as possible. they can't ship anything until they have the rights to distribute. so for now, they've got your money unless you call them to request it back.

Don't they do all that before the season? I thought that's why the corps had to submit all that well in advance of the season starting. Not trying to stir up a hornets nest or anything, just don't understand the process.

they obtain the rights for PERFORMANCE of all music before the season. the rights to resell/redistribute are what they have to obtain after the season. (sometimes things change during the season in arrangements) But also, the right to publicly perform is very different than the right to sell. which in some cases is tough to obtain. Spirit of Atlanta has 12 seconds of show missing from a DCI DVD due to this.

It's not even that simple.

The corps are responsible for securing arranging and performance rights prior to the start of the season. The company that produces the DVD, however, is the entity responsible for securing synchronization rights. They can't even begin that process until the season ends. Arranging and performance rights are actually pretty simple...it's the synchronization rights that are hard (and new-media/digital streaming rights, but that's a different conversation).
