perc2100 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 My wife and I go away and visit friends over Thansgiving for the (almost) sole purpose of watching the prior summer's DVDs...I've usually received them "just" before Thanksgiving...Hoping I get them in time this year as well...I did pre-order... completely goofy though on my part, but I find it amusing, if not a little bit comforting, to know that things haven't changed. When I was purchasing tapes in the late 80's, CD's and VHS tapes in the early - late 90's, and then the DVD's and Blu-rays the past few seasons, I would receive them around the same time (just before Thanksgiving). For whatever reason I kinda really dig that time frame hasn't changed in decades. Certainly the technology (and the complications) have changed substantially in that timeframe but DCI still keeps on their schedule. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDUB Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 My wife and I go away and visit friends over Thansgiving for the (almost) sole purpose of watching the prior summer's DVDs...I've usually received them "just" before Thanksgiving...Hoping I get them in time this year as well...I did pre-order... Based on the corps listed in your signature, I think you'll get them this week if not early next week. There was a small snafu with my order, but from what I heard from customer service, they're really pushing out the pre-orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaustianMachine Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Just got mine today. So far I've gotten through 7-12 on multi-cam. No complaints! Except for maybe the fact that the infamous "Best Brass Award" correction was edited out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came home for Thanksgiving break (just a few days back then) and usually took the records back to the dorm so I had time to listen. Kicker was if anyone gave me crap for listening the response was "I'm on the record I'm listening to... can you say that?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan Mom Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 My DVD arrived yesterday. My daughter and I pulled into the driveway, squealed when we saw the package on the front step, and raced each other to get to it. I texted my son to tell him it was here, and he actually thought I would wait for him to get home for Thanksgiving and let him open the package. Ummm... right. I ordered a bunch more that hasn't arrived yet, but I changed my order on them. The DCI Store staff was really helpful in making the changes.

Beckham Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 So for the people that have the DVD/Blu-ray, can you comment on what edits there are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDUB Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 So for the people that have the DVD/Blu-ray, can you comment on what edits there are? I haven't yet received the DVD, but from the Fan Network videos, the most glaring edits I found are: --Blue Devils (the "Heeeyyyaaayyyayyy...everybody!" chant at the very beginning of their show and near the end is muted) --Cadets (a few seconds of voiceover before Jingle Bells and, separately, the large chunk of voiceover before the final push (beginning with Angels We Have Heard on High)) From the CD product info page, it looks like only the Cadets' edits are included.
