Iv watched and re-watched the DVD's with the drum judge commentary. Vanguard had a sub-par performance. I have seen clips of them from earlier in the season and they were much cleaner than finals night. There were little ticks here and there. Some of it was that they were drumming with such a fire, that they started causing dirt. i think their book was way better than the Cadet's(believe me, I am so sick of the reefed paradiddle-diddles) and it had a lot of tasty stuff, but also take into account that the Cadets just plain threw it down. I don't think I have heard a cleaner tenor lick. They had an amazing night and completely deserved that trophy.
