If thats the case, then I think it would make sense for DCI to put a disclaimer on the MMDL website that specific downloads are only available until "(Fill in date)". I think they would probably sell a few more downloads if they did that...when people see that they are available for a limited time, they sometimes consider a purchase more strongly. DCI used to do that when they released the physical video and audio products anyway, so why not do it for the online media as well? I may be simplifying this too much, because I know some of the licensing agreements are varied and wordy...and DCI may not even know how long they can sell a download for.

As I imagine everyone at the show this past summer expected to happen...there is no CHESTER show this year. Its in East Rutherford now. Shame, that Chester stadium was a great place to watch a show - until last year when the prop debacle happened.

Yeah, that's bizarre - individual corps outside the top 12 from previous years are available, but not in the bundle...and some of the 13-25 individual downloads are no longer there either. Its ridiculous that copyright laws are so whacky right now that DCI has to constantly "update" its download sites. One day they can be made available and licenses are paid, the next day they are not??? This is why the physical media is so important to me - once I get the CD's, and videos, they are mine...no law or company (looking at you Tresona) can contact me and take them away from me just because the law changed, the publishing company got greedy, or the composer changed his mind regarding rights. I know DCI has not been perfect in all of this, but it seems to me they have really tried over the last 5 years or so to make sure EVERYTHING is licensed...and still - its a mess.

I'm sure they are waiting for various license permissions to go thru...especially on the video end. Last year the CD was released for sale early November, but the year before it was around Thanksgiving. And preorders for the bluray were around December. I still think that the video is going to be delayed, and when (or if) it finally gets released, there will be more cuts and edits than ever before (negative Nelly, sorry). I can't imagine what a pain it must be for DCI - sitting waiting for each sync license and mechanical license to go through, waiting for confirmation or denial for each tune used, and no idea as to when it all will be finished. I know this is the RIGHT thing to do on DCI's end, but its frustrating to say the least for them, the corps, the staffs, and the fans. I wonder if in my lifetime all of this copyright debacle will get resolved...I'm 51, so probably not. lol Anyone miss the days when you received the 6 volume DCI set of Vinyl records in early November, and then the Video tape set of the top 12 from Video Express right after! 🙂 And they were all pretty expensive for the time...I believe the Top 25 VHS set in multicamera sold for around $175 in a three tape set in the late 80's, early 90's!

Well that would be awesome if true...thanks for that

Why would Bluecoats be securing sync rights for their show? DCI is the one that has to secure sync rights since DCI produces and sells the blu-ray...unless you are telling me Bluecoats are producing their own video and paid for sync rights for their own blu-ray or DVD. Or, are you misunderstanding the rights issue and think that because the Bluecoats secured Performance rights and Arranging rights for this summer that they have sync rights as well? Or, do you have insider information?!! 🙂

I wonder if there will even be a bluray release this year - so many corps in finals played “very difficult or impossible to get sync license” music this summer: Phantom - Carmina Burana Crossmen - Led Zeppelin Crown - Gabriel’s Oboe Bluecoats - entire show of Beatles music Boston - Hamilton music with original voiceovers I apologize for rehashing this topic, but I’m very concerned that there won’t be a Bluray this season, and maybe only about half the corps from finals will be released on marchingmusicdownloads, similar to what FLO has up now on their website (and even some of those corps performances have music cut out during portions of the show) Chime in if anyone has better info and is less worried than I am 🙂

I think you mean the Legacy collection DVDs...those are the ones that are incomplete in the DCI store but some years are still available. The three Essentials Blu-ray’s are all still there for now. Wish they would make more Essential Blu-ray’s, but with licensing how it is, that’ll never happen. 😞

Get the three Essentials Collections Blu-ray’s, they are worth it.

The hi cam is a mess...no hi cam, stuttering, flomarching logo big, small, then off...awful night for the FLO team so far

Hi cam FLO!
