TY.  I would have lost what little mind I have left trying to remember his name. 

I finally remembered (I think) “Our Lady of the Single Valve (OLSV) Cadets”. So many corps of the era were called Cadets so why not Cadets. 😆

Wonder if Ace did the review of 1975 Dream show that said Roosevelt Stadium was “the land that time forgot”. Chief Judge Walt Kelly chases dinosaurs off the field with his starters pistol. A real tornado takes the Hurcs away, etc.

Sorry mods can’t make this on topic

Are they photos from this year?   Hmmm.

Discussions on Reddit suggests that percussion turnout has been good, but brass are lacking.   Also, perhaps 30 (SCV) vets total Corps-wide.

I had about 2 inches of mud on my Caballero bell-bottoms from trudging up and down the 50 (snare line) at that show. I'm surprised I kept both shoes from being sucked up into the slop. It might have been '74. Hard to remember.

Some talk about camp turnout in this thread. Also curious about this "low heel" technique and how safe it is to teach and execute. Anyone know?

Return of SCV

Also rumors of SCVC return in the future? https://www.reddit.com/r/drumcorps/comments/18ihswx/comment/kdf599d/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Ace left drum corps for many years playing percussion for several rock bands, getting a bunch of recording gigs. he came back to drum corps in the late 80's or so. in a thread more on topic i'll gladly tell all i know as we got to be friends.

and i remember his reaction to SCV 94....."#### me"

They’re probably skeptical.  You can’t really blame them after last year right about now if memory serves.

They're advertising or recruiting for more students to audition for brass on their social media accounts, so somethings up...

Most young people auditioning for SCV were probably sophomores in high school or younger when SCV last fielded a competitive corps. For most of us, 2019 was not that long ago. For kids that age, it’s ancient history. Add to the mix Mandarins will have a strong appeal. Your very good high school and college music staff with connections to the corps might be able to send talent in SCV’s direction, but I would think it would be a tough sell and where parents so often pay the bill, that’s another hurdle.

2022?
