expect to see Mom Smith there. A VK practice without her somewhere near

I think they will have fun watching the corps show.... and it's great
that you can take some time out of your day to visit. Be sure to make
yourself known, go to where the trucks and canopy are and say hello to
Mayra and Troy. You'll feel very welcome here.

I know what you mean.
Discussions have been made about "reunion" get-togethers for shows.
It has been decided that the reunions will take place where ever the
corps is. I couldn't think of a better place to meet up with old
friends than to be surrounded by your alumni corps.
If you are planning on going to the Brea show this Saturday (6-21) and
you want to know where the corps will be practicing you can sign in at
the alumni site for future show dates or drop me a line and I'll do my
best and let you know.

JB,
At my house yesterday, in the blazing sun, it was 114. I believe the
temps of a horse and at my house (let alone theirs and at the field),
are comparable.

The word "Corps," in our nomenclature, isn't an abbreviation for
anything, Joey...it is, first and foremost, used to describe a segment
of an Army with common function: as in Army Corps of Engineers, or
the more broad Marine Corps. I don't believe the word "Corps"
associated with the Velvet Knights, on or off the truck, ever had a
period following it unless it was the end of a sentence.

Zorb.
You would've been proud of VK tonight. The hornline sounded great.
Wish you could've been there. Will you just come on over to a
rehearsal before a show? Say... before the Long Beach. Lots of old
(ok... vintage/prime) alumni are gathering before the show. I
suggested to be where the corps is warming up or rehearsing. Rather
than at a show which you'd rather not attend, how 'bout at the school
while the corps is doin' run throughs?
I'll keep you posted to the time/place.

Zorb,
I talked to several members of the staff for a couple of hours on
Friday. They are some of the "Old Time" drum corps people who marched in the
late 70's and early 80's. The feeling that I get is that they are trying to
present some of the past in this years show. I think I can I can say, when
compared to the Div I marching bands, VK is is a Drum Corps.

Heh! Well I don't wear hats, but I'll give a wave of my "freak-flag"
to salute what VK are putting on the field this year. I didn't expect
to like it as much as I did, after watching the video from the Brea
show. Although quite small, this year's VK are very much in the
tradition of the very-popular VK of the 80s and 90s. And amazingly I
concur with David White: "VK is is a Drum Corps."
Guess I'll have to acquiesce to attending one o' these newfangled
corps shows. But I'll wear my Fresno Ferns t-shirt!
neho...@hotmail.com
Go to YouTube to see the show. It's not complete. The closer wasn't
shown, the gags aren't all in, the uniforms will be seen at the next
show. Holes due to member injuries although we still have one
trumpet, one mello and one bari spot open.
Could use a few more talented guard members too.

upset about that year,...., the year previous (1975), is
when I graduated into the VK (me and about 40 other
Squires, with lots of experience), and when we came into
the VK?!?!?!,...., most of everyone any good from 1973 and

Santa Clara Vanguard or Anaheim Kingsmen!!!,...., back to

"You (JB), Charlie Groh, Bernie Reyes, Joe Lintz, Gary Lee
Ron ?Zaughn?, the rest of the Corps, me and about
40-Squire grads (maybe more), got cheated out of what we
all had coming!!! (1976 DCI Championship),...., and a lot
of you VK Staffers helped the Squires out alot, getting us

74, anyone who could afford taking off to the 'other corps,'
had to QUIT on us!!! (for the 75 season)..."

nothing but a bunch of 14 and 15-year old players!!!,....,

sure, there's a few Martins, Sapiens, Mannings,
maybe even a few Whites, but those folks,

I guess?,

I played my azz off in teh Squires for 5-years getting
