KeithHall Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Back in the 80's I was fortunate to contact Ken Kobold to purchase tapes of various corps. He gave me several for free while I was stationed in the Army in Germany. My favorite recordings were of my own corps I marched with in the 1970's. Sadly, Ken passed away a number of years ago and the recordings were given to DCI or DCW who put them in a "vault" somewhere and to never be heard from again. I heard "copyright" laws keep them from selling copies to fans. I know I would love to have recordings of my old corps for my own enjoyment as would probably thousands of drum corps fans around the world. So, what can we do to make this happen? Bombard DCI with letters and e-mails? Lets get the ball rolling and see if we can't open up the archives to preserve the memory of our activity.

ironlips Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 uncle z, My understanding is that all of Ken's masters were bequeathed to DCI in his will. There may have been some conditions as to releasing them. Why not inquire about this directly to Dan Acheson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps as part of the new "buy a mp3" push that DCI is unveiling soon for all the other years, they can convert the Kobold recording and do the same with those as well. I have my credit card warmed up. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
