History
Edit
Season OneEdit
Vocal Adrenaline was first seen in Pilot, performing Rehab and intimidating New Directions. They are again seen when New Directions want to hire Dakota Stanley .
They compete against New Directions and Aural Intensity at the Regionals, winning first place.
Season TwoEdit
After New Directions fails at recruiting Sunshine Corazon, an aspiring singer -due to Rachel sending her to a crackhouse instead of the audition, Sue Sylvester informs Vocal Adrenaline's new coach, Dustin Goolsby, about her. Dustin is quick to win Sunshine over, giving Sunshine's mom a green card and condo. In "Comeback", Mr. Schuester announces the competitors for Regionals and Vocal Adrenaline isn't on it. Vocal Adrenaline would be aided by the Legion of Doom headed by Sue to enable them to gain advantage over the New Directions at the Nationals.
In New York, they performed As Long As You're There, with Sunshine leading them, as their bid for the Nationals. They made it to the Top 10 and will move on the next round. However, the result for this season's Nationals is not revealed.
Vocal Adrenaline did not appear in Season 2 besides from New York . Although, Sunshine and Dustin appeared for at least 3 episodes, Audition, A Night Of Neglect & New York.
This season did not focused on the rivalry of VA and the New Directions as much as the previous one. It is evident by the lesser screen time they got, the songs they sang (only one) and lesser appearances of Sunshine & Dustin than what have been expected in the season premiere.
Season ThreeEdit
In I Am Unicorn, it's revealed Vocal Adrenaline placed second at 2011 Nationals, that Dustin Goolsby was fired and that they are struggling to find a new coach.
In Saturday Night Glee-ver, it's revealed that Jesse St. James is the new head coach of Vocal Adrenaline and Wade is the lead vocalist. Wade seeks Mercedes and Kurt for help as he wants to perform at their regionals in his drag alter-ego Unique. Sue later knows that Mercedes and Kurt were talking to Wade and tells them to give high heels to encourage Wade to dance in them on stage and Vocal Adrenaline will lose. At Vocal Adrenaline's Regionals, Mercedes and Kurt attend to try and unsuccessfully persuades Wade to not go on stage as drag. Jesse finds Mercedes and Kurt talking to him and drags both of them out as they complain their Wade's friends. Jesse says "more the reason to fire him after the show," as the two culture makers look in shock.
While, on the stage, Vocal Adrenaline begins to perform their Regionals number Boogie Shoes. It seems that Vocal Adrenaline's members have decreased. As soon as Jesse sees Wade in drag wearing those heels, he hurriedly tries to tell Wade to get off the stage but the crowd begins to enjoy the performance, including Mercedes and Kurt. Later at the lockers, Mercedes and Kurt are talking about how unbelievable the performance was and that Vocal Adrenaline won. Meaning that New Directions are competing with them at Nationals.

TriviaEdit
- Vocal Adrenaline is much larger (26 members) and more professional than New Directions.
- According to Shelby in Funk, the club has an extremely large booster club, whose funds allowed Shelby to buy every member a Range Rover as a gift for their Sectionals victory.
- Vocal Adrenaline are extremely competitive, and the members are required to be fully committed to the show choir.
- They rehearse every single day from 2:30 to midnight.
- No one is allowed to leave for any reason (no water, breaks, or excuses), including heat exhaustion or Crohn's disease.
- Despite their great skill, they apparently aren't very emotional and at the end of "Funk" refer to themselves as "soulless automatons". This is apparently why they cannot do funk numbers: they cannot manifest the required emotion.
- They give their dancers human growth hormone.
- They went as far as to fail a student for six years in a row to keep him in the club, simply because of his ability to do triple backflips.
- They use spotlights so bright they are required to wear sunblock on stage.
- Vocal Adrenaline is one of three show choirs other than New Directions to appear on a Glee album, along with the Jane Addams Academy and the Dalton Academy Warblers.
- They gave Sunshine Corazon and her mom green cards and a condo so that she would join them.
- Their style is to choose their best performer and revolves the whole performance around him/her. It is evident in their performances as Jesse and Sunshine takes the lead and everybody seems to be just on supporting roles.
- According to Jesse St.James, when a member of Vocal Adrenaline dies they use their body as a prop.
- They are practicing 24 hours everyday before a contest (especially Nationals).
- They are given IV drips before major competitions (particularly Nationals).
- Sunshine even considers returning back home to the Philippines just to leave Vocal Adrenaline. (New York)
- They usually perform in blue. Exceptions are Highway to Hell (Hell-O), Bad Romance (Theatricality) and Bohemian Rhapsody (Journey to Regionals)
- As of New York, they had yet to lose a competition for five years. However, it is revealed in I Am Unicorn that they came in second place instead of first, therefore leading to Dustin Goolsby getting fired.
- They are very popular in their school, and they never got bullied or slushied by jocks.
- Former Vocal Adrenaline star Jesse St. James, has return as the new coach of them after Dustin Gooslby got fired. (Prior to The Purple Piano Project), (As of Saturday Night Glee-ver).
- Although deemed as New Directions' arch rivals, this was not that evident in Season 2 and 3 because of the scarcity of the appearance and it was only evident in the near finale of Season 1.
- If you would compare the performances of VA from Season 1 and Boogie Shoes, you'd see that the number of members seemed to have depleted over time.
