1985 BAND ORGAN RALLY
In 1985, we produced a VHS recording (home video style) of the rally
which has been converted to DVD format. The DVD shows almost all of the
organs which were displayed outdoors at the 1985 Band Organ Rally held at
the fairgrounds in Fremont, Ohio. These included band organs, fair
organs, barrel organs, street organs and calliopes. Due to the close
proximity of the organs to each other (about 25 feet in some cases), it
was not possible to obtain a perfect audio track. As some organs were not
playing when we were recording, in these instances the microphone picks
up the background sound of many organs at one time or of the organ which
is playing close by. With about 70 organs etc. in attendance, this 3 day
event was one of the largest band organ rallies ever held in this
country. There were many well known collectors, organ restorers and organ
builders from all over the United States in attendance at this event.
So, if you don't mind some imperfections due to recording in less than
ideal conditions, you will enjoy seeing this colorful event.
