And now we have a date.  At the very end of the Michael Gaines article, it says: "Make sure you tune in on May 12th when we announce the Santa Clara Vanguard’s 2017 program!"

We've had that date for a couple weeks now, if memory serves.

He ain't writing drill for outdoor at least.

 

I'll be honestly surprised to not see some hint of his influence in Weber's writing this summer.  I don't see how you bring him on board in design and have that not happen.  Regardless, we as a collective fandom of drum corps nerdiness are all better off with him back in the activity.

The off-season one-upmanship continues.... :)

Perhaps guard staging.  IMO that is a large part of Gaines' genius -- the guard would always be in the right spot to generate effect.  And frequently you didn't notice how they got there -- it would just hit you.

And here I was presuming they were just going to wish me "happy birthday."

Yeah... his visual integration, top to bottom, was almost always seamless.  This is a big pick up for SCV.  I hope they come out with something truly special for their 50th.
