Hi all
At the recent 2018 Sunshine Region competition event, we recorded video and higher quality venue sound of all Clippers' performances - the Chorus in competition and in concert, and the Squirrels and Cannibals quartets in competition. We also recorded some of the other performing groups in competition and concert, the Clippers' judges evaluations, and the masterclass sessions.
The performance videos include the higher quality sound tracks obtained from the venue sound system.
So now the Clippers' performance videos, and the Benchmark and Catalyst performances, are available to view through YouTube on our website at the following links:
Clippers page - Clippers Chorus, Three Squirrels and a Nut, 5 Young Cannibals
Other Quartets page - Benchmark and Catalyst quartets
Links to the above website pages are also available from the following website menus:
About / Recent Performances
Other / Links / Clippers' public videos
For those members who would like to take private copies of the Clippers' Chorus and Quartet performance resources (including the judges evaluations and masterclass sessions), these can be downloaded using Sugarsync URL links provided on the following members-only page. These links will remain open for four weeks, then I will remove them.

UPDATED!
The first of the performance videos from our concert on 22 October have now been published on our website at this link:
https://www.rivercityclippers.org.au/dbpage.php?pg=videofeature13
At present, both of the Clippers' performance sets are presented on this page. More to follow, including excerpts more suitable for Facebook ....
Note that these videos are recorded, and published in YouTube, in high definition (HD). When you view the Youtube clip, the video image may display quite fuzzy. In this case, try increasing the YouTube display resolution by clicking on the Settings icon (the gear wheel) in the YouTube window, and choose a higher Quality (resolution) setting. If the video stops and starts repeatedly, it is buffering because the speed of your internet link is not fast enough to deliver the data in time, so reduce your Quality setting.
Sorry about the poor stage lighting, but we can't improve that in the video without washing out other parts of the image.
You will also find this page linked from the Recent Performances link under the About menu, and in the Links page under the Other menu on our website.

With the 2016 National Convention in front of us, you may be interested to see the "official" high quality video of our competition presentation at last year's convention in Melbourne a year ago. I received this video some time ago, but finally it has been published on our website.
Clippers at the National Convention, Melbourne, September 2015.
Our public performance videos can be found at the Recent Performances link (accessible by the public), under the About menu item in our page header, and the above page is listed in the Recent Performances.
Also, if you want to find a past rehearsal video without searching through your old emails, they can be found through the Bulletin Board function on the website. On the Bulletin Board page, you can filter the messages down to the rehearsals by grouping by Type of Post and scrolling down to the Rehearsal Videos group.

Date Posted: Tue, 29 Sep 2015
The 2015 BHA National Convention Chorus Competition was held in Melbourne on the 19th September. The event was webcast live at the time, as was the preceding Quartet Competition. The webcast videos are still available to view as a streaming service, possibly only for a limited time.
We have included the link here to the webcast page, which contains video player frames to all contest sessions, including the two sessions of the Chorus Contest. These are long streaming sessions, each running for around two hours - so you might appreciate some guidance to find the Clippers' performance!
Chorus Contest Session 1
Scroll down the page to this session to see the Clippers' contest performance.
The Clippers were scheduled fifth in this session, so you will find the Clippers' introduction at about the 42nd minute into the streaming session. Just slide the play point in the video display along to the 42 minute point.
Chorus Contest Session 2
The highlight, perhaps, of this session is the gold medal winning performance of the Sound Connection Chorus.
Their performance is third in the session video, so you will find the introduction to Sound Connection at the 25th minute into the streaming session.
