If a Drum Corps performed "The Haunted Mansion" ("Grim Grinning Ghosts", by Buddy Baker), I imagine the opening statement may sound something like this!

OMG I SO want to do this!!!! This is incredible. I feel like if a corps actually did this they would become an instant fan favorite.

Makes me wonder, which Drum Corps (any division/class, any era) would pull a show like this off the best?

Maybe PR? Or SCV?

VK and Jersey Surf as of right now. But if you're going for "serious" then probably Cadets.

I thought new VK folded. Or was that just an early ending of tour last season?

VK had just a short tour last year and are currently undergoing an evaluation process along with Spirit of Newark. They will probably take this year off but nothing as final as what happened to Teal Sound, Revolution, or Forte last season.

The REAL VK died after 1996.

True. But the new one has had some definitely entertaining shows too. After all, many people argue that DCI died at several different points in time.

If VK was what it was in the early 90s I would've definitely marched there once I moved to Los Angeles. Too bad the SoCal corps can't merge their finances and powers and bring back a full fledged 2COOLVK

I remember seeing the crazily awesome show that included a viking a shark and communism. But I can not remember what year the VK did that show.

That was 1992 VK. It was called Magical Mystery Tour Part III I believe. Could be II. I forget. I liked their 1990 show a lot. The Universal Studios one.

Ok I will go back and watch it, that is what is great about having a DCI fan network account!

Yeah if you have a little bit of money I highly recommend getting a Fan Network account it gives you access to every show done since like 1979.
