Tom D'Bomb Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Let's say someone - or maybe ALOT of people - wanted to buy DCA recordings from before 1998? Does anyone know how this can be done? Do the masters exist? I'm sure they can be found and put to better use than just sitting in someone's basement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGM Updates Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Tape doesn't burn well, so I'd say basement sitting is probably as good a use as any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: http://www.digitalcds.com/dca.html is the DCA Champs page PS - For some reason 1968 is a missing year.... A recording of the Sunrisers from DCA's in 1968 is on the "Sunriser Gold" CD. From what I understand, it's something like a second-or-third generation recording.... remastered as best as possible, I believe by Frank Dorritie and Charlie Schiavone. IMO, it's very cool recording.... almost has a "ghost corps" quality to it. Sun's hornline sounded really "on" at that show. I've never heard that triple-tongueing trio in the Sunriser classic "The Joker" played better.

For whatever reason, I don't recall, but I seem to remember that there wasn't any recording made of DCA finals in 1968. Because of that, I bought Fleetwood's two-record set of the Yankee Rebels' 'March of Champions' contest which I think was the only major DCA show recorded that season. Maybe others here can verify that and supply some background as to the reason this happened. I believe the Buccaneers won the show and Sunrisers were perhaps second. I believe all the top corps were there and recorded: Hawthorne, Hurricanes, Skyliners, plus the Marine Drum and Bugle Corps and the Rebels. Perhaps the Sunriser recording Fran refers to is from that show. The old Memorial Stadium in Baltimore was huge, and the recording has tremendous echo/backlash at times, especailly from the starting line and the end zone/finish line -- remember those? I'd have to dig out the old records from the collection to tell you more. Maybe tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did win the show and The Long Island Conservatory Of Music did come in 2nd that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Bought 1968 Steel City Spectacle of Music CD from DCW few years ago. Buccaneers, Skyliners, Brigadiers, Crusaders, Sunriser and Westshoremen Bonnie Scots Another possible for '68 Sun..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cin4057 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Speaking of drum corps recordings. DCI Finals for this year will have a buzzing in the background from the lights in the stadium. I thought it was the feedback from the amplification but it was the lights. It was horrible. I truly hope it doesn't come thru on the recordings, but I doubt it.

cabalumnidrummer Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I just looked at Fleetwood's site, and it doesn't show any 1968 DCA Championships. They have all the others from 1965 through 1972, their last year, except '68. The 1968 March of Champions is there, and the one corps I neglected to mention was the merged Reilly-Raider Musketeers. In 1973, CRS recorded the DCA. If any recordings exist of the '68 DCA Finals, they might have been made by another company, or some independent. Once again, I wonder what happened to cause this? Was Fleetwood having some sort of contractual squabble with DCA in 1968? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Haring Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Honest to God guys..... I am pretty sure that the Sunrisers recording on that Sunriser Gold CD is from the 1968 DCA Championships. I'll have to confirm this with a well-placed source. Fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
