ohbaby Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Just got done watching 81 BD. I know it probably has been discused before, but why no Finals footage? The recording was awful, they should have only charged $10 for 81. I feel bad for anyone who marched 81, but it got me thinking, did DCI film other regionals from earlier and later years? I have seen footage during San Antonio and Indy shows, where does the footage go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacquesb Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Just got done watching 81 BD. I know it probably has been discused before, but why no Finals footage? I think it was deemed too expensive to get all the equipment, etc, to Canada for finals. Or something like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torn8o Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) I think it was deemed too expensive to get all the equipment, etc, to Canada for finals. Or something like that... What's odd is the fact that the audio recordings for the THEN records and now CDs of that year were recorded in Canada. So, my next question would then be - how much more difficult would it have been to get the video equipment up there? Never mind answering. I know the answer. Nuff said. OH...But WAIT! They did it in 82. Hmmmmmmmmmm..... Edited March 1, 2006 by torn8o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen footage during San Antonio and Indy shows, where does the footage go? Yeah, I do feel bad since that was my age-out year. ^0^ However, I do have my finals performance that the staff recorded and I do have prelims. We heard that they were having trouble getting permission to film it or something like that. It is ashame because our finals performance and position was much better than DCI MidWest. Not only that, but much of our show had changed.....music, drill and guard work. I also have a few other corps perlim performance from that year as well on DVD.

byline Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I think it was deemed too expensive to get all the equipment, etc, to Canada for finals. Or something like that... My understanding is that it was because DCI didn't get telecast copyright and production agreements worked out with Canadian officials in time. They did get all that worked out the following year, probably because (as a direct result of what happened in '81) they knew what was involved.

strutta Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 You have the finals performance from 81? Oh how I'd love to see that...my favorite Lancer horn line... besides 73..:) I must agree Steph. The 81 line was the most talented in the short history of the corps, IMHO. Their 81 Finals performance was MUCH better than the midwest performance that remains for all eternity . However, I actually liked 'Spitfire' as the closer. As you know, it was dropped for 'Danny Boy' by finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
