Santa Clara Vanguard 2024

Today SCV announced a partnership with DeMoulin. Guess that means they won’t be using Stanbury anymore. How long was their run with Stanbury uniforms? -
Santa Clara Vanguard 2024

SCV went full cavies bent leg in the early 2010s (might have been sooner) when a lot of Cavies vis staff joined. Gaines wasn’t at SCV until 2017 -
In this thread earlier he threatened to dox and expose an anonymous poster (whom I am routinely not in agreement with myself). I don’t like reposting too much what of what is said privately in other forums. What I will say is that he has been tame here on DCP in comparison, and individuals who have nothing to do with current decision making/problems have been dragged through his mud in an effort to dig any and all potential dirt. Warranted or not. I don’t know enough about the logistics to know the answer to your last question. But I do find it amusing because irrespective of all the noise being made, one of three things are only likely to happen: 1. The BOD ignores the situation and gets everything together on its own, eventually bringing the corps back. They really don’t care enough to address this publicly for a while. They should but they don’t. 2. DCI steps in soon (not likely) 3. SCV just stays folded. I don’t say this to be dismissive about these topics, they can and should be talked about. But the org is just going to trudge on or not.

Both things can be true at the same time. I think the BOD is downright terrible at what they do and there should be consequences for their mismanagement. There is substance in the content and documentation within his posts that are valuable. It doesn’t justify the routine online harassment of various people who aren’t in decision making positions, the threatening to dox dissenters, and the aggrandizing self-insertion. Between what he posts here and multiple times daily on various alumni pages, he routinely crosses the line between simply trying to hold the BOD accountable, and doing anything and everything to personally burn down the organization and tear down whoever gets remotely in the way.

The purple feather thing was more of a myth/joke during my time. If it was an early 2010s thing, it died out to nothing more than a thing people were vaguely aware of a few years later. I am fairly certain no one was given a purple feather in my time with the corps. And I question where members (?) would even get them (stanbury?). I viewed it as a rumor within the culture (still an oppressively condescending concept). Relating to the meeting being cancelled I just wished they’d kept it tonight to communicate anything regarding status. It feels like they’re using staffing to again have an excuse to pass the buck farther down the road. Likely reading to much into it. I’ll still die on the hill that SCV’s constant refusal to engage and supply sincere information to the public is terrible for their comeback/success.

2023 DCI WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS

Devils with a 20 in Vis proficiency tonight -
Nobody moves like the Devils do. And everything else is at least on par with everyone on par (and I feel like that undersells them too much). I would be surprised to see anyone catch up, and I’m no BD honk. Wow to the trumpets in the closer! Ironically one of the more traditional shows this season, but still has that “It” factor.

Amazing brass. As always with Crown, and somehow better each year. I prefer crowns bright uniforms of the past. Hornline uniform really doesn’t cut for me with that coloring. So far compared to the shows around it there’s not enough thematically cementing this show for me. Hard to get from a theater though. I just think story shows can struggle and this story is an old one. Feels like a really safe concept.
