KakkoiiOtaku Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Those of us who were at the Cinema event a few weeks ago heard about a new Blu-ray release that DCI is putting out called the DCI Essentials Collection: Champions. It has 13 Championship Winning shows on it, all remastered in High Def. Here's the description from the new DCI Store: Drum Corps International presents the all new Essentials Collection- Champions Blu-ray disc. See and hear legendary performances like never before with all new audio remastering to 5.1 surround from the original stereo recordings and video up-conversions to High Definition. This exciting new collection utilizes cutting edge technology to create the definitive highest quality possible from the original source materials.DTS HD Master Audio Lossless 5.1 AVC@26 MBPS Original television aspect ratio preserved Featuring: 1973 Santa Clara Vanguard (previously unavailable performance from historic Warhawk Stadium in Whitewater, Wisconsin.) 1975 Madison Scouts 1984 Garfield Cadets 1986 Blue Devils 1989 Santa Clara Vanguard 1991 Star of Indiana 1994 Blue Devils 1996 Phantom Regiment 1999 Blue Devils 2000 The Cavaliers 2005 The Cadets 2006 The Cavaliers 2007 Blue Devils Product is scheduled for shipment in late July, 2012. I started another thread to see what the DCP Community would want on the Champions Disc. But, I thought it would also be fun to see what NON-Championship Winning shows we would want if they were to do a set of Non-Championship winning shows. So, since the original has 13, let's keep this down to 13 as well. Here are the 13 Champions I would've put on the discs in chronological order: 1. Bridgemen 1980 2. Phantom Regiment 1984 3. Madison Scouts 1985 4. Phantom Regiment 1989 5. Phantom Regiment 1991 6. Star of Indiana 1993 7. Madison Scouts 1995 8. Madison Scouts 1997 9. Blue Devils 2000 10. Santa Clara Vanguard 2001 11. Santa Clara Vanguard 2009 12. Carolina Crown 2009 13. Carolina Crown 2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrownBariDad Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I haven't been involved in DCI all that long so I really can't list 13, but on my short list (just off the top of my head) would be 2009 Crown (already on several lists abvoe) and 2011 Madison Scouts.

You should look into The Fan Network. There have been some fantastic non-champion shows through the years that you can watch from the vault 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
