Popular Post packwick Posted July 9, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 hey all you cool cats and kittens, it's Carole, here at Big Cat Rescue. jk. don't check my septic pipe. so, last time i was on here was probably a couple years ago. my username was oldtwhsband, something like that. well, i forgot my old account info, so i'm back as packwick! formerly known as Mog on the BOA forums, waaay waaaay back in the day, when i was upsetting Brett Johnson by posting dumb stuff, like dumb teenagers do. "why isn't anyone here talking about my band?! UGH! why can't we design an effective show?! UGH!" in my defense, i was tooootally always right about everything ?. a couple years ago i offered a few people access to my marching band video collection. long story short, my dear old mom collected just about every marching band DVD and VHS tape known to man, even the ones for contests The Woodlands didn't attend. she says it's because it runs in her blood, because her father was a big drum corps guy; but i'm gonna say it's because she's a crazy hoarder. (love her to death, don't get me wrong. we do our annual MotherBoyXXX BOA Houston event, for those who have watched Arrested Development -- think Buster and Lucille). aaanyway, the last time i shared my videos, i only had the top handful of groups from the early 2000s to present day + a larger woodlands folder. long story short, i felt really bad that i had all these other shows that people might have performed in and might be nostalgic about (and which could serve as a great historical and educational resource) that i wasn't sharing, so i went back through and ripped every single late season DVD i had. so, like, the late season Texas regional finals plus gn finals. i also now have every 1990s-2000s performance that is available online (again, late season TX and nats), plus some from the DVDs/VHS tapes i had available. also, i've filled out the most recent years with pretty much the best videos available online (+ some i obtained on my own). compiling all this took FOREVER to do. FOR. EV. ER. FOR. EV. ER. several weeks worth of work. in fact, i'm up way past my bedtime right now. but, it's all safe and backed up, so i can rest easy. also, i, like, know every band show now, and wrote down a stupid amount of mostly ridiculous new band show ideas out of sheer boredom as everything was processing. all stream-of-consciousness style, which i'll eventually pawn off on a surely annoyed Joni V. the coronavirus lockdown has not been kind to my psyche! THESE VIDEOS WILL NOT BE UP FOR THAT MUCH LONGER! some glitches: Northrop 93, Westerville South 96, and Duncanville 05 won't preview for some reason, but they can still be downloaded. i think one of the Union shows in the 2010s wouldn't process either. i've tried everything. i give up. absolutely none of the videos included can be bought anymore, so nobody is losing money on them, except for the people hawking used videos and DVDs on ebay. as such, there are lots of videos in this collection that you will not find anywhere else. if you are interested, please send me a private message. i will not be posting my link for any old creep who stumbles onto this website to see. only devoted band nerd creeps, please! tl;dr IF YOU WANT BAND STUFF MESSAGE ME! but not right this instant. i need to go to bed. love, Patrick josephbandfan, gregorydf01, Parkwoodmom and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packwick Posted July 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 so, just to clarify for everyone, i'm not charging anything for these videos. i mean, they're high school marching band videos. ? also, apparently i uploaded the wrong Keller for 2015. i'm gonna gueeeess that i probably got that from YouTube. i'll try to replace it if i can. thanks!

packwick Posted July 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 okay. yeah, i definitely uploaded the wrong one. i was so attracted to that glossy Keller Central video that popped up! i'll have to upload the Keller send-off video.

packwick Posted July 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 keller vid is uploading verrrry slowly for some reason. maybe the drive slows down when multiple ppl are on it. if there's an HD version available for a vid, i typically choose 720p to save space. i mean, the overall folder is around 130 GB as it is.

packwick Posted July 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 one more thing, sorry for spamming, usually the videos are multicam, occasionally they're high cam. LeanderMomma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really thought it was some scam at first haha ha! well, based on what i wrote, it's not that surprising. nighttime always brings out my lunacy. (if the TV show Teen Wolf is right, which i watched only somewhat ironically many years ago when i was a 25 year-old man, "lunatic" has its origins in people who lose their minds at night.) because i've been saying this to just about everyone i've sent the link to, i thought i'd just share it here: some of the preview quality doesn't seem to be as high as the original file quality. hopefully when you download a file, this is fixed. also, i've noticed that sometimes you have to click around inside the preview to improve its quality. weird Google processing stuff.

packwick Posted July 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 just to clarify, because i think the original sentence was kind of confusing: i only had a few later 90s VHS tapes. so, much (most?) of the 90s is pretty much stuff you can already find on YouTube. (i had the boa results up on my screen for each year and just went down the list searching.) the 2000s are pretty golden though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packwick Posted July 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 i think i had trouble ripping the year 2000 for the Houston regional. i might be missing a couple bands there as well. pretty much i had to convert each VHS to a DVD, and then rip the DVD. sometimes my computer didn't like that.
