xandandl Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Is being named to DCI's HoF the kiss of death or a sweet dismissal??? Case in point, Jeff Sacktig is named to HoF, then resigns from Cadets drill writing for sabbatical and then new allegiance to Crown. (Colin McNutt named to Cadets HoF then resigns for BAC.) Scott Koter is named to HoF, then resigns from Cavaliers and re-emerges to consult with Pacific Crest. Dan Farrell is named to HoF, then replaced at Phantom as show coordinator by Wes Cartwright under new title. Denise Bonfiglio is named to HoF, then this: http://www.scvanguard.org/scv-winter-guard-on-hiatus-for-2017-season/ I wonder if new corps admin at SCV have reservations about JVndkf (usual SCVWG drill writer) working for Bloo? I don't know, just wondering out loud. Certainly WGI and guard folk will miss SCVWG (let alone the Christmas shoppers wanting that gift wrapping service they offered at the mall.) With CWP in Allentown also withdrawing from WGI, is it getting too much for corps to compete successfully in DCI and WGI in the same year?

Actually, that was my first gut reaction as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Of course, it could be Bloo applying "the pressure" to come up with an outstanding new and novel approach for the defending World summer champions. Maybe it wasn't Space Park's decison at all but a consequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWP folded because none of those drummers were marching the drum corps. They wanted to build one group to feed the other. This is what I was told/heard.

JurassicWorld Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Three words: Pride of Cincinnati. Winter guard continuity is no measure of success or of, indeed, viability. If I had to a take a guess here: I LOVE that Ms. Bonfiglio will be focusing on the 50th anniversary of the "home team" Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps.We will all benefit, if so.

Maybe it wasn't Space Park's decison at all but a consequence. If that's the case, couldn't SCV winter guard simply find a different designer? It's last minute, but wouldn't someone not of Vanderkolff's caliber be better than taking the year off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I was told/heard. partly true. not the whole story. and winter rarely feeds directly to summer. it's far more geographical in nature.

This is what I was told/heard. Not exactly true. For instance, At least one snare marched both CWP and Cadets, and he drove/flew from several states away.

I believe a large amount March both that are in the cali area. From what I have heard Rennick doesn't allow SCV corps members to March winter so the SCV winterline doesn't get that talent.
