Some where in the deep south we were announced once as "Performing their show Sharonzaddi the Santa Clara Vancorps"... I laughed through out the entire show, while marching!!!!

Excellent, I'm glad to see Myron back with the organization he loves... good luck Myron

Myron wrote drill for SCV from the late 80's all the way through 2005, so yeah that would include 2000 and 2003. IMO some of the most prolific drill ever written (2000 & 2003)

For quite some time (pre pre 2004) the staff over at SCV had a deal that if the Red Sox won the world series they would have to field Russian Christmas Music again... We all know how that went... Wonder if we can expect any surprises again. #### those Red Sox. Rumor has it that if they hadn't have won in 04 they would have marched Moto Perpetuo in 05.

This is one of those shows that has so much going on that every time you watch it you see something else that you didn't pick up on before. I thought that the brass line was weak comparatively to other top 5 corps... perhaps because of the insane drill demands, but the drumline was on fire, I thought they were better than the 04 drumline IMO. Their semi/finals performances were absolutely amazing, and Clowns back at their housing site made almost everyone cry... simply beautiful, classic SCV.

Are you kidding? Rampart owning 5A... Wake up man. Were you there, legacy had Rampart beat straight up no questions. Next year maybe, since John Crouch and company won't be there.

That's Catarina, she didn't march until 2205 where she stayed until 2007 when she became center snare her age-out year. There was also a girl named Torey who marched SCV in 2003. I don't know if she marched 02 but she started the season out in 2003. Unfortunately she broke her ankle during tour and had to sit out for the rest of the season. I don't know about a female tenor player in the early 2000's though.

Uhhh No. Up until this year Rampart was competing in 4A. Legacy last year was the group that beat Pomona. This year Rampart is competing in 5A and are doing just about average for this time of year for them. They have a show that is shockingly similar to "Criminal"...

He's working with both Douglas County and Rampart. I can only hope that he dulls his drill down for these high schools because their drill is mediocre at best, and executed in the same manner. I'm just really surprised that he landed this job... with such a world renowned orginization...They must have convidence in his ability. I still can't help but to voice my concern for PR next year as a PR fan. Best of luck to Nick and PR

Yes, He does work with High Schools... Rampart Regiment here in Colorado, and Loveland High school last year, that of which he was fired from for not delivering. Let me tell you that I'm very worried about Phantom this year... Nick's drill in the past has been nothing short of ameture, redundant, non-musical, and artistically questionable. I spoke to a fellow alum who was considerring writing a letter to the board of directors voicing his inherent concern. Nick's a great guy, but his drill wasn't good enough for a lonely 4A band in Colorado, how will it be good enough for PR... Just my thoughts...

It was my hope that they'd bring back the entire 04 staff... Plus my little brother is going to try out on snare there... I'm happy he'll be able to get the Gusseck experience... Assuming he makes it of course :)

Ahhhh makes sense... never heard cadet corps called SCVC though... I've long thought that SCV could have more consistent arrangements with more intelligent voicing from the start... they usually have to make many changes to the brass book through out the season. But I think they usually end with a good musical product...

I didn't know that SCV had a C corps... P.S. A lot of the shows for marching band that Key writes are very generic marching band stuff... But it was your high schools choice to march it, and for 2 years in row for that matter. Key's arrangements of pre-existing material is in my opinion very well done. His arrangements in 03, 04, 05, 07 were spectacular from a brass standpoint... IMHO

Where do you get your information? I happen to know why each and everyone of those people that you mentioned left... and most of them are not for the reasons you stated!

That was the uniform that the guard wore for TOC's indoor performance in the bay area with SCV and BD on stage.
