ah hah! but you see, the original VK organization ISN'T here anymore, so that's irrelevant.
But either way, don't you think what made VK was it's humor and straying away from a lot of the seriousness in drum corps, but being a bad ### at the same time?
correct me if I'm wrong, but...
velvet - smooth
knight - Tough warrior (pretty much, right?)
So even within it's name is states what it was supposed to be about.
I don't think It's fair to say that the reincarnated VK isn't creating a new name for themselves, and I'm sure the alumni will agree with me. I even remember our staff not wanting to put in certain gags just because it leaning too much toward "old" VK ideas. I also don't think it's fair to say that we shouldn't be allowed to follow the "old" VK traditions of humor and whatnot, since we are, theoretically, the same corps, right? Why shouldn't we be allowed to follow the original ideas of the Velvet Knights? Is it because we've gone for 10 years? Why should that change anything? Why can't we just come back and try to continue where we left off?
Please let me know, I really don't understand your logic when you say we shouldn't have gags in our show.
Again, please let me know if anything I'm saying is completely out of context, my opinions may differ from yours, but hey, I only march there.
