Mysteries from the Video Archives

Dance Concert Rehearsal, probably 1998
Digitizing much of the BFS dance department's video collection for the BFS Archives video collection yielded unidentified rehearsal videos and one music concert video. Most of these videos seem to have been created after 2000. One dance concert rehearsal video seems to be from 1992 or 1998: that video was dated "Monday, March 2" and the only years with that day and date, which also add up for this video, are 1992 and 1998, but I'm pretty sure it's 1998 since I know some of the dancers in the clip personally. This archivist would greatly appreciate your assistance in identifying the years in which these five videos were created. Please lend a hand and comment below.
