Back ground lighting

Friend of mine vidoe taped her son's commissioning ceremony. It was in a open side tent over looking peal harbor. The figures are real dark because of the back ground. I messed with exposure and color correct but would like to know it there are some tricks to bring the figures out better? thanks fishbelt

Does Vegas studio have Color Curves? If so, you can use this to drag up the shadows without blowing out the highlights.

And try Levels as well (if its in the Studio version) or as an alternative (i.e. Suck and see!).
