cjp87 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Hi all. This is a little bit of an odd request, I guess, but I was curious if there was any way besides purchasing the DCI 2008 Semifinals DVD (which I don't particularly want or need for $30) for me to get a hold of the 2008 Troopers semis performance? I actually marched in it (thanks to a post on this forum that summer, in fact-- there was a request for an upper lead trumpet, and I saw it here and hopped on the bus in Kansas!), and never managed to get myself a copy of the last performance. I figured there would be some digital record of it somewhere, seeing as it was the first time Casper had been in Semis in 13 years, but I haven't been able to find any singular DVD I can buy or even some online source to stream. I know that asking about illicit media sharing would be against the rules here, and all told, I wouldn't mind being able to give some money to the Troopers organization in exchange for a DVD or whatnot anyway-- they deserve the support. But I figured this would be the best place to ask if there is any way that I can find this recording. Thanks in advance for any help. Edit: whoops, looks like the title got cut off. Sorry about that.

Iplaytimpani Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Did troop have a year in review DVD or anything like that? I have one for Glassmen from that year and after all the rehearsal clips and video year booking they had the finals run through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjp87 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 I couldn't find anything on their website or dci.org regarding media from that year. It seems pretty sparse in there, actually, so I guess they just don't keep a lot of inventory around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjp87 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hey! I take from the icon you were a bari/euph player, though I can't see quite well enough (or, to be honest, remember quite well enough) to put a name to the picture. I was also only around for about three weeks, so I didn't get a chance to get to know everybody as well as I should have. My name's Colton, if that rings any bells. Showed up completely out of shape, and 15 lbs. later I marched the show at Allentown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
