<p>We received the Plebe Summer DVD from Thornton Studios today. They did quite a nice job. It was frustrating though--in almost every shot of D&B, the cymbals were facing backwards! We got to see our Plebe a number of times. For the class of 2011, sign up to play "where's Waldo" all summer and think about buying one of the DVDs. </p>
<p>Peskemom--we saw your plebe several times--and her roommate! </p>
<p>Sactomom--there was really funny clip of the cymbals messing about at the track meet.</p>
<p>heartcross....Yes, we got the sample one and I was checking out the D&B stuff for your wonderful dd as well!!!! I think the prices are overwhelming for really buying anything...what are others doing???</p>
<p>We had bought the Plebe Summer one and they sent the sample one too. I'm a bit torn as I know my dd isn't going to show up in her platoon one very much. She was off doing D&B so much of the summer. The marching clips won't have her, nor the Ft McHenry shots. It sure was fun to watch last night though--twice!</p>
<p>We did not buy the DVD. The alumin association will [at least they did last year] send you a
DVD of plebe summer. While your chances of getting specific shots of your plebe are iffy [I think we saw about a 1/5 of second of ours on the edge of fire suppression exercise], it was more than adequate for our son. The best aspect? It was free. For our son, it is an adequate remembrance.</p>
<p>The Alum Association contacted me and told me that we were going to receive a DVD of Plebe Summer from them, but that not everyone gets one. We do because we are a 'legacy family' - meaning my husband is Class of '72. </p>
<p>We haven't received it yet - but I'll let people know when we do and what's on it.</p>
<p>I think all the families get the alumni DVD. We did and it had been damaged. They sent out a new one that day. btw--the lady mentioned that they sent out 1200 of them, so I think everyone is on the list. It wasn't terribly useful as our dd is in D&B, hence in few shots with her platoon. I'm glad I have both!</p>
