Plus as far as it is known, they’re still in non compliance with the state of CA as a non profit which prevents them from soliciting donations. Trust me, it’s highly unlikely they’re fielding next year Understood. I interpreted your original post as meaning the SCV will never field a corps again.

But one thing BD did very well in John's case was giving him a ton of time with Wayne to learn the ropes of the job....the transition was a years-long thing, hen e why it was so smooth and didn't inturrupt the operation if the corps. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Dan, there was a sweet moment early before semis or finals, (I forget which night; probably finals), that he & his family were on the field taking some pictures. He took his grandchildren to the Colts logo at midfield to take some extra pictures. It was really a very sweet & cool moment. 💙 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they file bankruptcy and have to dissolve all assets, they’ll be back. Vanguard has the resources to rebuild, whereas others (i.e Glassmen) did not.

drumcorpsfever Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) The difference between 1 and 2-4 this year was design - not talent, instruction, or execution. For Crown and BAC, both corps need a show design re-think. They executed the heck out of their productions. But the contrast between them and BD was evident. As for Bluecoats, their design is becoming stale. They were a little too cute the first half of their show as brass played so little until the ballad. They killed the 2nd half but a little too late to top BD. At the top, it always comes down to show design.

Wasn’t that the main reason they did not perform this season? Gotcha! Guess we’ll find out if we ever see the day they return.

I think John was learning from his dad Jack a lot longer than he was learning from Wayne. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
