  1. When standing erect he was four feet wide.
  2. There were bugs all over the field that year. I almost missed the step off to the show because I was mesmerized by a particularly large moth at my feet in the opening set.
  3. The slow motion crash scene from 89 Garfield. I also remember watching their show and seeing a soprano tossed 20 or 30 feet in the air during a scatter. I think it was in 90
  4. I can almost hear the grass screaming as it gets trampled under foot.
  5. I thought this was a "pick out VK's visual caption head as a child" game. I was going to go for #2.
  6. What makes a drum corps is a set of ideas and style. That's a bigger thing than then the people running it. Did the Blue Devils stop being the Blue devils when Jerry Seawright stepped down as director, with all the changes as Madison Scouts should we now call them MS? As much as I would love to see the 1988 or 1992 VK out on the field again it won't happen. I'll never get to see the 1988 blue devils again either. The activity has evolved but the ideas that have made great corps great has continued. I thank those who made VK great when I marched and it is those ideas that I hope to pass on to those in the VK I now have the privilage to teach. It is my hope that I can help the members of VK who march this year be as proud of their corps as the VK alumni who have posted here obviously are of theirs.
  7. This is like therapy for me. I could never get into Star's 93 show no matter how many people praised it.
  8. You had shoes? Back when I marched all the football fields were uphill and covered in snow.
  9. Just a little trivia: one of the reasons the Tommy show was chosen was because the judges were complaining that all BD played was jazz and wanted them to expland. We did yet every time we got to PBW the music judges would say 'this is the BD I know'. So much for listening to judges.
  10. The worst runs were when vets lined up in the back of the block. You knew a rookie was getting snuggied at the end of the run.
  11. I always thought F tuning was BD corps song.
