(Gotta say, when I hear the semis version of the show, it sounds wrong to hear it played right!) Mike they did on the tapes back then. BD was semis on the cassettes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two middle charts were from semis. I don't think they did on the cassettes - I bought those back when and it still had the finals frack.

Here are the recordings from both Finals and Semis: Finals: https://soundcloud.com/kylan-meddow/blue-devils-1989 Semis: https://soundcloud.com/user-686680100/blue-devils-1989-semis12345678 Interesting that all these years later the issues he had on finals don't seem as great. The soloist is a spectacular player - he knew how to make that horn sing. Edited March 10, 2021 by Continental 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more obvious on the (VHS) tape I made off the PBS broadcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a thing with music on it that you played over and over and over until it garbled up the tape player in your father's car. At least it didn't change tracks in the middle of a song like an 8-track. Did DCI ever offer 8-track recordings in the '70s?
