For example if you sit on the 15 yard line or upper deck.. no way you hear details that HQ recordings pick up. The Bluray of 87 Garfield is a perfect example ... you hear the soprano at the end, doubt anyone heard that in person at Camp Randall you couldn't on PBS live that night Quote

I remember being around both teams when the DVDs were rolling out in the mid 2000’s. An incredible attention to detail and an immense sense of pride. Bravo to all those involved! 100%, and I know I'm not in the minority when it comes to "people who first 'discovered'/experienced DCI via Blair-produced DCI Finals on PBS or VHS tapes back in the day." IDK if he's in the DCI Hall of Fame, but if not someone REALLY needs to nominate him ASAP to get him in!! 3 Quote

I originally had a tape dub of the record, and _maybe_ I heard that trumpet solo first on the audio CD that Cadets produced of their 'Championship Years.' It's been too long to remember when/how I first heard it, but I DO remember the first time I heard it thinking, "ahhh; THAT'S what that sop solo sounds like" Quote

If I am wrong in this I apologize, but I thought I read this somewhere when the bluray was released a while back… Quote

It’s pretty cool and funny. Well deserved for sure. 2 2 Quote
