TennTux Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I just transfered this off an old VCR Tape last night..Who was the first mini-corps? Well, I know there were a couple older than this, but I thought I’d pass it on to everyone anyway. This video has been collecting dust in a box for 20 years. The 1988 “One More Time” mini-corp was a group of Sunrisers & Bushwackers who got together and put out a mini-corps simply to have something to do during the off-season. Since this was long before DCA and MCA mini corps organizations, the only venue to perform in was as an exhibition at local winter guard shows. The amount of drill and visuals reminded me of the conversations of late on DCP about the “direction” and “evolution” of marching type mini-corps rather than “Stage Performances” as it was called. I found it ironic that this group was doing that 20 years ago in a gym for a crowd. I also can’t believe how much damage has happened to the tape! It was recorded on a cheap tape 20 years ago and I’m amazed at the degradation. The sound is still reasonable, but the picture quality is not that great, so I figured I better preserve it before disappeared altogether… Anyway, watch and enjoy it for what it was….fun! :) VERY COOL Scott Thanks for saving and posting....

Sunrizer Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) VERY COOL Scott Thanks for saving and posting.... Tony ;-) My Pleasure!! UPDATE: Low and behold - Going through more and found a better quality video, although the camera isn't in the center and it doesn't stay up top the whole time like the other, but at least it's a little clearer...

doppeljr Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 That's awesome Scott. I love the closeups in that video. I sent the links to Melissa Derechailo, who played flugel that year. She loves the vids and was excited to see the past. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
