We did the Peace Sign all of my years, 70, 71 and 72. In 70 it was the most controversial. We did it coming out of concert to The Peace Sign playing White Rabbit. The VFW admin was against it. At Nats though, we got a huge positive response from the audience. The flashes going off by photographers were blinding when we were charging the front in the form.

The CEO said in the last open board meeting that they'd announce with rep at this weekend's camp.

Can't wait to find out their music repertoire. When have they usually announced their show concept and do they do rep with it or nah? I don't remember.

Great, so we can discuss 2024 staff. Good to know. Thanks. https://www.drumcorpsplanet.com/forums/index.php?/topic/179447-vanguard-2024/&do=findComment&comment=4041603

It has been pointed out to me that there wasn't in fact a 2024 SCV thread so I will open this one. That said... follow the Community Guidelines and play nice.

There’s a twilight zone episode where they have hell rooms. The occupant goes insane in his room. At the end of the episode, a voiceover says that it’s funny because they have the same room “up there”.

That's a bingo.

With due respect, The site already has a community guidelines section... that pretty much covers the "rules" of the site... I should know as I have been on the DCP admin team since the site was less than three months old. I was kinda party in actually WRITING said guidelines. If you want a thread discussing 2024, Vanguard, then I am pretty certain that the 2024 staff is relevant to the topic. I feel comfortable speaking for the admin team on this that we are not particularly interested in enforcing arbitrary rules set on individual threads that sit outside the community guidelines.... and besides, there is already a 2024 Vanguard thread. Closing this thread as a duplicate.

SCV 2024 Staff & Admin link below. I'm not good with strict rules 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://www.scvanguard.org/vanguard-staff/ Should be a good production and now home to a LOT of Cadets this season!

At 07:33 I'm going to ascend from my seat directly into heaven. . . . or straight to hell, as the case may be.

Code is 922868. Hope it is appropriate to post here, but I don't see why it wouldn't be. UPDATE: valid for online order only. See post below for details.

Strict 2024 production discussion only. Staff, admin and all other discussions should have their own threads. (I apologize to the community for not understanding/following that in the past and am opening this thread in that vein. I will follow it here to a T.) That said: camp and show reveal slated for this weekend IIRC. Felicidades to the members! The drum corps world is very happy to have you back and I wish you a safe and happy summer!

If Agape is their ballad this year, there's a good chance I'll find myself in tears as well. 🥹

Troopers are in the conversation

i told him if they are, we'll know by Allentown

double posted for some reason. If i remember, ill scan the picture of him at his set from his high school era jazz combo next time i visit this summer

My dad's set was a marine pearl slingerland kit from the 1950s. He had it down in the garage when i was a kid for awhile, it spent a lot of time in the attic. We got it down and set it up again for him after retirement but then they wanted to use that for a spare bedroom again and it went back to the attic. When it came time for him to sell the house and move after mom died. He was ready sell it and his older brother had a neighbor who was a drummer and learned he also collected kits. The guy was ecstatic to see dad's drums...complete with most of the calfskin heads intact. I think only the snare had been replaced by a synthetic head. The thing was in pretty good shape and the guy lovingly restored it then had dad over to see it and play on it one last time.

Is it too late to add Spanish Fantasy to our wish list?

Me, too!

Flomarching with Mandarins just released the artist names of the source material. Along with playing Agape by Nicholas Brittell in the background of the video

I haven't heard anything so far. My son has been very hush-hush. All he told me was that Sinnerman is only the beginning. Mandarins have their first full ensemble this weekend.

Mandarins might take the award for “ballad that makes me cry” this year….

Aww.. How sweet, 76 reunion. I'm Jealous Lol
