Our daughters\' dance studio charged $45 for the first video and $15 for each addtional...we couldn\'t believe the price when we read it...absolutely stunned. We would not go down that road because, as you found, our daughters would not be captured on film as we would like and the price was just ridiculous. Fortunately, we were allowed to video tape during the recitals, but I\'m thinking that this option may be taken away from us in the future. Incidentally, we couldn\'t believe the number of people who were obviously going to purchase the video due to the lack of video cameras in the audience...maybe 3 or 4, and this is a good size auditorium.
