I have a feeling that some of the members were defaulted into holding up the "Thank
You" sign as they were dressed in the SCVC uniforms like the rest of the drumline. I imagine a few of them were also the pit during Bandfest.
And I'm going to guess the Rose Parade doesn't have much to do with the Rose Bowl show in the summer.
The members of the Front Ensemble held the letters and Rose for the Thank You sign along with the banner in the front of the corps. Check out the Bandfest performance and see the front ensemble members killing it in Scheherazade.
As for the size of the drumline, not every member can justify the costs of flights, are in other winter ensembles or couldn't take the time off of work.That being said, all of the members in each section were amazing throughout the week! What an amazing way to kick off SCV's 50th anniversary.
This whole performance would not be possible without the support and planning of our volunteers and administration who spent MONTHS preparing uniforms and other items. -
I live in Santa Clara, been to the stadium on multiple occasions. It sucks. I was pro-drum corps being in the stadium for a long time, but once I started attending games there, I've changed my mind.

for Spring Training/Move Ins BD is indeed "on their own" for housing. There are a lot of local families who take in the corps members, many are parents or alumni of the corps, a few of the members will rent an apartment for a month or two for move ins. SCV goes up to Weed,CA right by Mt. Shasta for move ins (very beautiful view), then they move down to Tollhouse the week before the first show. BDB and SCVC are housed by local members within the corps.

Just curious, what's the plan (longterm or short term) for you guys? Compete in SDCA? Open Class? Have you started the process of obtaining instruments/equipment? Does the corps have a website yet?

The Vanguard Cadets Brass and Visual Staff will be hosting their annual clinic/workshops on November 16th & 23rd for all local prospective or returning brass players looking to audition for either the Santa Clara Vanguard and/or Vanguard Cadets this December. The schedule for both days is 9-12:00PM visual time, with 12-1:00PM lunch on your own, and the 1-4pm brass. Trumpet players will need to bring their own instruments as none will be provided and it is recommended that other instruments do so as well. We will though have some mellos, baritones, euphoniums and tubas on hand but you will need to bring a mouthpiece (ONLY LARGE BORE mouthpieces for baritone or euphonium). You will also need to bring a music and a water jug. Since you will be marching, proper clothes and shoes for this are essential. Also make sure you've had something to eat that morning.
Administration staff will be on hand to answer any questions you may have regarding this season.Event Schedule: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16 9:00a – 12:00p Visual Workshop 12:00p – 1:00p Lunch (on your own) 1:00p – 4:00p Brass Workshop

If at all possible, attend the 2 workshops this month! 11/16 and 11/23 at the corps hall. You can get a basic understanding of the marching technique used and a look at what the brass blocks will be like.
-
Definitely come to the audition camp! What people forget is that most drum corps audition camps are also Clinics! The staff looks for people who are willing to learn and have a great attitude. If the staff sees that you want to learn and they see your potential, who knows what will happen? Yes playing and marching are a main part of this activity. In my past 2 years with the corps, I've seen many members who learned how to march, and learn how to play a brass instrument for the first time.

at Renegades in 2011 (and previous years than when I marched) when the corps had rehearsals in "SF", we lined a field on a parking lot using soap. I've seen Bluecoats use painters tape to make a whole field during finals week.
-
Thank you! What keys should I be able to play in fluently? For example, would I be expected to be able to play in Db major?
Bb, F, Eb and C

Not sure of order, but top 3 will include Bluecoats, Blue Devils and Vanguard. BDB will make top 12 world class, open class corps will continue to rise higher into the world class rankings, as they have for the past few years.
-
If you haven't already, please make a MySCV account on scvanguard.org . You can fill out a prospective member questionnaire for both SCV and SCVC. You'll get the most up to date info on audition info (materials, camps, etc. ) as it comes out.

Myron's drill is still handwritten, then it's put into pyware.
-
Actually, every horn should have a 4th valve and tune and note feature
-
My combo:
System Blue Tubas, or Yamaha Tuba if they added a 4th valve and had the tune any note feature like the Kanstuls
Yamaha Baris/System Blue Euph mixed togetherSystem Blue mellos
Yamaha Xenos with reversed lead pipe/tuning slide

Flexibility exercises are partial jumps. Going from partial to partial as smooth as possible and slurred.
-
Once the scv a corps packet is released, would it be helpful to get that and work on stuff in it?
If you'd like. Several of the exercises in their packet is the same as ours.
-
The packet that is online is the SCV A corps packet. For the Cadet corps, we use a separate packet (passed out at auditions/local rehearsals). For the cadet corps, focus on long tones, flow studies, flexibility. Provide an open and dark sound while playing. There will most likely be a technical excerpt posted on the SCVanguard website in late September/early October. As with any other corps, at the auditions, take in as much as you can.

Hello DCP!
My name is Hao and I am one of 7 returning veterans in the Vanguard Cadets tuba line. This will be my 4th year of marching drum corps, and it gets pretty expensive. The tuition for my corps is $1,850 and my flight home is another $200, and all of the expenses on the road will be another few hundred. I am currently (trying to) work as many hours as I can to try to offset my fees, and can use any and all help. I have set up a gofundme account to make things easier for myself, but you can also donate towards my fees through the Vanguard's website via paypal (I'll include the link down below). Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated, and if you happen to be at one of the shows that we are performing at, please let me know so I can personally say thank you!
Thank you for your help in advance!
Hao Duong

They also just picked up Steve Barnhill as a consultant. Looks like some great choices being made from their organization.
