VKSEC Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Long story short, some where in the mid west, store has ice machine outside, corps kids see ice and think, uummm, must be free, director called to store because kids stealing ice, kids explain, we thought it was FREE, hence the battle cry from the Chic song "Le Freak" Ahhhhhh.... FREE ICE That's awesome!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgo Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I gotta admit, my direct knowledge of what VK used to be about was nil, until yesterday - I ordered and received DCI's Classic Countdown DVDs for 2005 and 2006, including the 1992 VK show. Hands down, pound for pound, this is the most entertaining drum corps show I've ever seen. Not the best (I save that for PR 2003 and SCV 2004), but certainly the most entertaining. I haven't laughed that hard and/or that long at anything put on the field EVER. :lolhit: Not just plain funny, but also performed very well - that drill and music combo ain't child's play. If the "new" VK can even just approach the level of irreverence, insanity, performance level and just plain randomness that the "old" VK did, you'll have one abso-tively delirious fan here in Cincinnati. :) Wishing all of the new organization nothing but the best! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Felix the cat was fond of saying: "You'll Laugh So much, your sides will ache, your heart will go pitter pat.." Not only was the corps very funny in 1988, they performed really well. Great hornline and good drumline. My favorite years of VK were 88 and 92. Funny shows but very good drum corps too!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piper Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 What you fail to udnerstand is that there's at least a couple hundred miles of distance between all those corps not to mention.The seven corps that Bill mentioned are all within an hour and a half drive. As well as the fact that some of those corps have camps that are in locations that aren't their "home towns". I don't know if that matters so much anymore - at least in D1. Not too long ago almost everybody (members) were local, or at least from the general proximity. But now in D1 the kids come from anywhere and everywhere, and just show up on your doorstep for auditions. I guess it's the old adage "Build it and they will come".

I will bring that up to the board at our next meeting......but that's an excellent idea!!!Let's see what you got........ Maybe you could have a contest, ubild the best show concept, and win your name mentioned at every performance the corps does.
