apoch003 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) No. It's Fantasia from Connecticut; someone else confirmed it and it matches the program. How do I know it's not Pioneer? Stay tuned... Because Sacajawea got upset with them at the Pacific Ocean and left. Thus, they couldn't find their way back to Wisconsin? At least, that was on the Simpsons last night...

randomnoise Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 The birth of the VK style. My personal favorite of their uniforms. Oh man, that sure brings back memories... I taught the VK Brass section in 1982. We were at a camp in May, at Oceanside HS. The drums were late to runthroughs, and when they showed up, they were wearing uniforms. But these were no uniform any of us had ever seen. It seems that the head percussion instructor had gotten uniforms made without telling the rest of the staff. And we hated them. We called a staff meeting, and after a bit of back and forth, Greg Clarke (from Bayonne) said, "We should just wear Hawaiian shirts." Someone else said it wouldn't look worse than what we had seen. Our fearless leader, Jack Bevins, told us we could do what we wanted, with a budget of $3500 to outfit the entire corps. So we divided it up. I was on uniform tops. Charlie Groh and I took two corps members (Andy Cross and Craig Root) and went to the fabric store, where we found the material you see in this picture. Why did we choose it? Because it was on sale for 75% off! We got the hats from K Mart ($1.98) and the pants from a surplus store. Shoes were donated by Vann's. And we came up with a uniform that rocked the world. And was machine washable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shades of Rochester Phoenix (Sr) who supposedly outfitted their new corps with JC Penney work coveralls topped with homemade sash and Aussie hat. And like VK they also rocked the corps world....
