Say what you will about technical issues, Box 5's customer service makes Flo and NFHS look like amateur hour.

Aural Hygiene Sorry, I'm free associating a bit today.

Just think of the Brandt Crocker corps announcement at the start. And now from blankety blank…. QUIET! And not a sound is heard.

Maybe DCI should start a GoFundMe for the BluRays

I have been impressed with Tim and Box5 too...the quality of the sound and picture are outstanding. I feel bad for what happened Saturday night with BOA Finals...I am hoping that Music for All allows him to rebroadcast this week, but I am not sure they will give permission due to copyright concerns. Speaking of copyright, if anyone knows, I was wondering - did FloMarching have to pay extra copyright fees for them to rebroadcast the DCI shows the next day during the summer? I have always wondered what the "law" is regarding re-playing an event. No, it's not live, but it also is not being controlled by the consumer like an on-demand video...it is being broadcasted just like it was broadcast live (starting at a certain time, ending at a certain time, no ability to jump forward for the watcher, etc.)
