CallipygianKing Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Live stream is up and going. Looks like Standard Def. Only one hiccup so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallipygianKing Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Ha! The city is overrun with corps and they play a recording of the national anthem? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamarag Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 The stream, though in SD, looks pretty good. Rock solid so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallipygianKing Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Apparently they're playing the same commercials on the big screen in the stadium as well as on the live stream. And they're not muting the stadium mics, so there's an echo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Drum Corps Europe sent a great commercial for their FREE live webcast of the 2014 DCE Championships on September 27th. I highly recommend checking it out, especially considering corps like Kidsgrove Scouts and Heartliner have made the DCA trip over the past few years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Steve is now interviewing Larry Hershmann, a long time fixture in the DCA activity. Apologies for the spelling of his name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
