Technical issues caused problems this week. Some of the videos have a "soft appearance" lacking in detail and not sharp as they should be due to an obscure technical issue. Plus newly updated encoding software had an audio defect affecting all but WV; most of the others have been re-mastered to fix that.

Other Schools
Why isn't my school shown? I only tape some performances. Priority is given to our school's division group, then local area schools, plus a few others.
