This is the video for the 1970 Movement, Music and Meaning Water show put on the Springfield College Marlin Club in the Linkletter Natatorium on May 8th and 9th, 1970. The video was done on a 1-inch Sony EV Tape. It contains the different productions performed during the water show, mostly consisting of different synchronized swimming performances, but there are also clowns, diving and dancing. Note: there is a loud hum and much of the film is dim and shot from far away. To see the program for the performances, see here:. For more information on the history of the Springfield College Marlin Club, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/corporate_entities/118. The tape has a loud hum and is dark and hard to make out. According to the digital technician who transferred this tape this is the best that can be done for this video. The technician said, ""The 1" EV was a nearly 60 minute tape of water sports (synchronized swimming?) shot indoors in very low light using a non-interlaced black & white camera. There are many stop/starts within this recording. At 1:54:21, there is a section of test recordings that have no control track and could just be considered junk material. At 1:56:58, this section settles down to more tests.";
