At the request of the chorus board, a concert's archival video may be excluded from the archive.  This may be due to technical, legal, financial, or administrative purposes.  In such an event, the concert itself will be listed, but will not have a watchable video, or may link to a publicly-recorded video from the audience rather than a production-quality archival recording.

Concert shows which are listed but which do not have a video will display the show promo poster, and will indicate in the description that a video is not available.  If and when a video is released in the future, its show poster will be replaced with a watchable link.
