BlueDevilsBari Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Was 1 of my favorites as well. Too bad I didn’t win. But we did get high horns. Wow that was 41 years ago! Miss ya Pooh Bear. 2007 was fun. Damon Edited March 3, 2022 by BlueDevilsBari I’m old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks John If memory serves, there was no video from Montreal. However, DCI Midwest (Whitewater) was captured and released on VHS tape. Locating one of those would be a real find.

flugelswerebugels Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 FYI I remember hearing that the reason finals were not recorded or broadcast in '81 is that PBS could not get their equipment across the border into Canada. I'm not 100% sure that is true, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am not mistaken, Canada has some very strict labor ordinances requiring the hiring of local production people. This may have proven too costly.

The audio recording was allowed, though. Some amateur video of prelims (not done by DCI) is out there...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bldbrkr Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) I know there were recordings of Crossmen, SCV, 27th and I think either Garfield or Blue Devils. Yes, the were of prelims and of finals ( McGill and the Olympic Stadium) They floated around for awhile, some placed in defunct archives. You might want to ask on Facebook group 80's drumcorps.

Bob984 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I've seen some from 1981.....they were all prelims......same vantage point, so I believe someone got a camera in.......same corps as you listed....but I haven't seen any from finals........some are here....https://www.facebook.com/groups/2433228313665981/media/videos It was cool to see these earlier this year.....I was on staff with one of the corps........but the only video that I had was from DCI Midwest....I wish I had one from finals, as we were much better in finals than prelims.....
