  1. There were many, but few were ever, and never will be.... "THE" Carl Allison of the Sacramento Freelancers. 1982-83 And one of THE best Baritone Soloists os all time.
  2. They never left the field. They're just being budget smart and surviving the economy by staying on the west coast for a while until the corps membership grows and are willing to spend the money for a national tour. Impulse is celebrating their 11th year on the field and plan to be around for 11 more (at least)
  3. FYI.... Impulse is Larger than last season and basically the same size it has been since 2006. Impulse marched fewer guard and 16 horns last season, 26 horns (up 10) this summer and 10-12 guard, up from last season. Battery slightly larger as well. The last time Impulse was larger than it is now was 2005 with the Impulsibles show...39 brass/35 percussion/14 guard/2 dms at 90. The largest Impulse corps was 2001-2002 at about 97 total members. This is Impulse's 12 competitive season on the field and appears to be turning a corner in membership growth. I expect they will be around for many years to come. :-)

  6. I never knew the Man. I've always respected him, the IC Reveries and the 27th Lancers. As I've heard from friends who are 27 alumni, he was a fantastic father figure to hundreds if not thousands of young people. God Bless you George B. You will be in my prayers always, especially when I watch my 1994 27th alumni corps performance. Ron Zeilinger 80-85 VK (the original VK, not the new VK claiming to have anything to do with my old VK) co-founder Impulse
  7. Sam + Logic? hmmmm....ok. (just kidding) Like I said, there is no rivalry between us. I won! (just kidding again) Dan really won, he's working with a high school band where as I'm selling Toyota's.
  8. SAM SAM SAM....I love ya bro....but come on! For all you readers out there, here it is from one of the two horses.....mouths. "The Zeilingers" as a component of rivalry between Impulse and the new VK... this couldn't be more irrelevant to the topic. Here's why..... Neither of us hold any position in any drum corps as of today. And for Dan..he is done forever. (as he communicated to me) Dan Zeilinger was member/soprano soloist with the VK from 1971-1974, he was also a founding board member, head horn instructor, brass arranger and co-show programmer of Impulse and is also solely responsible for getting me involved. His desire to leave Impulse had nothing to do with starting a new VK, that was just a coincidental opportunity. As far as I know, he was approached by the new VK people and decided he wanted to be a part of this new VK's creation. He had been involved with the original VK twice in their history when they were starting all over and I can see where he wanted to be there for this too. With his numerous years as a touring musician and Impulse's Tour Director, he was the best person for the job to show them the ropes. He did, he retired from drum corps and that is that. He is enjoying being a grandfather and the assistant Band director at Canyon HS in Anaheim last we communicated. I still volunteer my time with IMPULSE! in an unofficial capacity, with absolutely no title or position. I consult the organization when asked, run errands and whatever else they need. Neither of us "owned" (not that owning was implied, I just chose to say that) either corps. We volunteered our emotions, time and finances with (Dan volunteered his family). We were volunteers just trying to make drum corps available to the kids in So Cal and have some fun doing it. OK SAM??? (Rabble Rouser) Best Regards to all, Ron Z Drum corps volunteer And...Follow your IMPULSE!
