Kazadar1 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Daniel Fish Santa Clara Vanguard, Trumpet My name is Daniel Fish and I this will be my 6th year in the Marching Pageantry. I marched with the Oregon Crusaders for the last two years and have been blessed with the opportunity to march with the Santa Clara Vanguard for this upcoming season. I started marching my 8th grade year with Grants Pass high school, who became 2011 NWAPA Champions and marched in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade the same year. After having instructors and friends in drum corps, I decided to audition my Junior year. OC became my home for the next two seasons and was the best times of my life so far. After the success of last season, I was approached by a Vanguard Veteran and was told to audition. He helped me set the ball rolling and I was able to audition and received a membership offer. I was ecstatic because marching with SCV has always been a dream of mine. I fell in love with the after watching 1988 Phantom of the Opera my 8th grade year. I didn't know about 1989 until about a year later. Crazy, I know. But it was the summer of my freshman year, '09 , that I decided fully that Santa Clara was where I wanted to be. I was able to see Ballet for Martha and was moved to tears. Simple Gifts holds a very special meaning to me and the performed it better than I had ever witnessed. I was lucky enough to be able to perform it with Oregon Crusaders during our Yellow(Closer) section of our show last year. It was at Semi-finals that I was able to watch Santa Clara and was again blown away by Music of the Starry Night. Our tuition this year is 2250, but as I live in Northern Oregon, airfare can cost between 200-350 dollars for each camp. Please help me actualize my dream of being able to wear the Star with pride and represent the Aussie in all of it's glory.
