If you’re not a regular follower of our family, our oldest son Chris plays the bass, both upright and electric. He’s part of the jazz band at Washingtonville high school, which is an extracurricular thing. They had a concert a couple weeks back so we tried out the new HD camcorder.
He was able to use the bass that had pickups and could be amplified. This means we were able to hear him over the rest of the band! Very exciting. The jazz band does pretty well for a high school group, and of course, we thought Chris did great too. One funny thing though, he neglected to tell us he needed a black shirt to be “in uniform”. You’ll notice he stands out in his bright white shirt!
We uploaded the videos to Vimeo in HD. If you have a pretty recent computer (read: pretty speedy) and some kind of high-speed broadband Internet connection, you can probably watch in HD. To do this, just click on the HD icon in the video. You’ll see it at the top right of the video window when you put the mouse there.
