My name is
Christina Haas. My parents are Jackie and Charlie Haas. As you
can tell from the Bit of History, our family has been involved with Drum
Corps for many years. My father spent a great deal of time and
effort over the past 15 years converting the old reel-to-reel tapes to VHS
and more recently, to DVD. When my parents started video taping Drum
Corps, it was not with the intention to sell the performances but rather,
to assist the corps' they were working with at the time. Around 1974
our lives began to take a different direction and for a period of time, we
were not actively involved in the activity. Then, in 1992, my sister
and I became marching members of the New York Skyliners and around that
same time, my father began working on the conversion of the tapes to VHS
format. I was with the Skyliners for five seasons with 1996 being my
last.
Since the
early 1990's, my father has made an effort to make the video tapes we have
available for sale to the public. For several years he was able to
offer the performances on VHS format. However, VHS tapes wear out
over time and the constant use of the master tapes became a concern.
My father decided to suspend sales until he was able to convert everything
from VHS to DVD. He recently completed the conversion to DVD format
and turned over all rights to me so that I may continue to allow the Drum
Corps community to purchase a piece of this unique history.
