The Jerk Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Great poem for one of my two favorite corps! Go SCV!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvjesse Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 They always seem to have something intriguing. If I remember right, years ago, that had these really neat "bass tubes" made out of 10"(?) PVC pipe that you hit with some sort of soft, oversized paddle. I think they were homemade. Neat stuff. That was 1995 in their "Not the Nutcracker" show. It's amazing to me how many people (even within the vanguard organization itself) didn't like that show. I LOVED that show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCV84 Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Finally saw the show live last night in Columbus... I loved it! I'll see them next in Buffalo, then in Toledo and another three times in finals week... ####! I wish I could have seen it more than that.

2000Cadet Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I have always loved SCV and the entire organization. They really show what it means to be a classy organization. I've said it before and I will say it again. If I grew up in California, I would most DEFINITELY have marched there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBecky007 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Proud to say I know a handful of those kids. Their show is definitely one of my favorites this year, for the Vanguard has always been one of my favorites growing up--Key Poulan started the music program at my high school and I will forever be thankful for the mark he left there. Vanguard Tradition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRacer Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) As another one of the mid-80's Red Team guys, (and I might get flamed for this), I've felt there was something of a rivalry between (then) Garfield and SCV as to who could outdo the other when it came to Copeland. In '83-'85, SCV used volume, power, and gave Copeland a regal, majestic treatment, with the exception of The Red Pony in '85 which IMO did nothing for our show but showcase how loud our hornline could get at high tempo. Two years later GC countered with a completely different Copeland, with different middle-horn voicing, and wild drill. I have only seen SCV once this year, and that was at the Riverside show. Even thought it was so early in the season, I immediately connected with what the kids were doing, and I was a WRECK; I hadn't sobbed at a show in over a decade. It was 11 minutes of sheer joy for me-- the majesty of it all--- and in my mind SCV has made an emphatic statement about who truly is "The King of Copeland"-- win, lose, or draw.
