hi chris!^^ i'll watch the show as soon as i get out of class :], thanks nancy..err..mom? i'm excited.

i wish i could march x_x

dang it. wish i could be there :[

no, like water.

Looks like i need to do some musical research! (this years theme kicks butt)

A few people i know who marched in 06 rumor that they are coming back this year, but they are rumors after all.

i plan to march with the Velvet Knights!! I CAN'T WAIT!!

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.

i think i'll write to you, michael, in a few days. College is hectic.

aww, i never got to see that show, i heard it was pretty darn good though.

haha, Nancy, you're crazy!! We don't start til November I think. :P... I can't wait!

aww, you beat me to it, Guizeppe!

...but that's seriously awesome of DCI to do.

Thanks Mom!

blue tooth comes in handy for this very reason.

i had in and out after div 1 finals and ran into some corps people, don't remember where they marched :P

how about that mentos car?

I was completely broke, so one of the VK alumni bought me a VK pin :] (thanks dale!)

well, being a first year corps..........

downtown burbank is a pretty nice place to go to for shopping, and just having a good time, and it's only about 15 minutes from pasadena!

haha, i hope our "more cowbell" vocals are loud enough. and nobody will get this, but "Pikachu."

There goes my math grade.

shouldn't impulse be in 5th now?

Blowing up that transformer was the highlight of my night! But overall, I had tons of fun, it was great meeting so many new people and especially VK alumni.

This is so sweet! I can't wait! :)
