Did Sandi Rennick leave SCV? She no longer appears under educational staff. 😞

I'll take TOP any day.

It's pretty simple why Shaun left. He had the number two position at Vanguard and took the number one position at BD.

To answer your questions. That was her from 89. The solo rim shot was in the original 74 field show and was performed by a 74 snare drummer. Ralph wanted to be involved but was unable to. Extra trivia: The 3 women on the 50 for the bottle dance were members of the original/first bottle dance line and were wearing original uniforms. I think I speak for all SCVAC members what I say we had a blast and only wish we could have performed at more shows this Summer. The highlight of this entire experience for me happened after our performance Friday night. We were outside the stadium and getting out "atta boy" speech from our director. The A corps came up the ramp and listened. When the speech was over our horn line sang their parts for clowns. The A corps came forward, started to work their way into our group, put their arms around us and sang the lyrics.

Ryan Stohs. I believed he marched mid 90's.

What about those of us that don't have the DVD? Inquiring minds want to know!

Thanks for the response cowtown. As a drum guy I'm obviously thrilled with having Renick on the staff and would love to see them get another Sanford trophy. Just wondering where the issue might be in the brass caption. I would take a little less drum line features to move up the ranks....but only a little :>)

After seeing the brass results of the past few shows, it looks like it's time for changes in the brass caption. BK beat them in content last night. I really thought bringing in JD Shaw was gojng to have a huge affect on that caption. Looks like SCV may be 6th in brass at finals. Is it the techs or is it the book they're playing?

Seems like this would be a good spot for the "Vanguard" yell. The crowd yells "Vanguard", to light up the corps, which in turn "lights up" the crowd!

It seems the Texas law has very similar wording to Indiana. I propose that DCI move the Southwest Championship from San Antonio to Denver!

Should DCI boycott ALL states that have similar laws. 20 States have almost the exact same law on the books. They were all based off of the 1993 federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act. If it's an issue in Indiana, shouldn't it also be an issue in Alabama, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia? Just some food for thought.

One for SCV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se_o8rJZAtY One for BD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i26M7iDRxIo Merry Christmas!

Vanguard had a soprano that marched 8 years......and took a year off!

Ditto!

I don't think we need to boo DG. We need to boo who/whom ever is responsible for creating the sheets that have lead these kind of shows being rewarded. Gibbs? Hopkins? Every director?

I'm sorry you're right. Most people, when they really enjoy a show, don't even bother to clap. My bad.

A baby tosser? Have the crowds started cheering wildly for this show? or are the Devils still getting the polite golf clap? If the majority of the fans in the stands think it's boring, then it's boring.

I'm not saying GE scores should be just the result of people clapping in the stands, but if ANY part of the sheets refer to audience reaction/engagement, shouldn't the lack of reaction be reflected in the score for that sub-caption?. If a sub-caption has a possible total of 100 and the audience engagement part of that sub-caption counts for say 10. Shouldn't corps X recieve a 1 or 2 for audience engagement if the crowd sits on their hands? What's the point of including audience engagement on the sheets if the judges are just going to ignore how the crowd reacts?

Are the Blue Devils starting to receive some crowd response? How much does crowd response count on the judges sheets? and which captions/subs? You seem to know a lot more about the sheets than I do since I've never bothered to look at them. I'm really trying to understand how a corps could score so high in GE if the crowd is not engaged at all. In Denver BD never got anything more than polite golf claps during the show and most people didn't even stand at the end, which was a poor showing for the Denver crowd if you ask me. Lil help!

That is my house and this was the second year I've done this. The first year I had one controller which controls 16 channels or plugs/electrical chords. I got the hardware up and running on a laptop in less than hour. Programming a 3 minute song took about 3 hours. This year I had 3 controllers and it took me about 5-6 hours per song. You get better the more you program plus there are some little tricks I've learned.

I can help ypu get started if you want, but it's really pretty easy. A lot faster to get up and running than I thought it would be. Chuck

Here is another one. Chuck

Just a guess but I think they're going to pull a Phantom. Music of the Night Phantom that is.

Being a drum guy I consider the hiring of Rennick and his staff a "Home Run" for SCV. What do you brass guys consider the hiring of Wozniak and Higgins to be? How good are they?

That would be sweet as well! Sucks for Blooo though.
