There will be a big alumni corps gathering the Friday night before the parade and again Saturday after the parade. Details to follow!

Looks like fun!

Our corps is seeking even more members to march in the Anaheim Spooktacular Parade on Oct. 29th, which runs right past our old corps hall in downtown Anaheim. If interested please email Scott Moreno Email me for more info! We are playing a drum cadence and Thriller and have parts for Bb and G horns.

They will be bigger and better and just fine, as always!

There may be a VK Alumni Corps uniform or two on that field Sunday morning!

We are very active on facebook. If you want to be a member, just ask and you can be added. Membership is only $25 and is open to all over age 21. You do not have to actually march perform with us to be a member!

All alumni corps are not created equal! Some just stand still and play (my type) and some really move and do almost a full drill. Hopefully your corps has an easier option that works for you. The exercise is good and healthy for you, but the sun and excessive drilling probably is not. Live The Dream!

Fly in for the big gigs and when you can. We have an open policy and are very out of town friendly!

Perhaps if given something to cheer for, fans would clap, cheer and give standing "O's". If the crowd is not buying the show, then the crowd will respond as such.

It was awesome! Quite a few alumni, who were just there for the fair, showed up and were very surprised and happy to see us back!
