ptr250 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 So the announcement is official Jeff pearson is the new director. Very exciting news. Jeff and Kathy live breathe and bleed SCV red and green. He is going to be a great addition as the leader of the new staff. We will miss Rick, Myron and Murray, but look out DC. SCV is primed to kick some major tail in ‘06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following the process established by the Board of Directors, which involved an application process, screening interview and final interview with the Board, the offer was extended to Jeff. “We are very excited with Jeff's acceptance. He brings a wealth of Vanguard history and tradition as well as business management to the position" stated Dan Vannatta, General Manager. Jeff assumed his position Tuesday, November 1, 2005 and is quickly bringing himself up to speed. Jeff Pearson is a Human Resources professional and entrepreneur. He began his career at ADP and moved to Syncro Vac, a manufacturing company in Milpitas, California, as Human Resources Manager. In 1999 he opened the first of his two Papa Murphy’s pizza stores and was the owner/operator of those stores until accepting this position. Jeff has been very active in the marching arena. He began his marching career playing baritone at Independence High School where he won the MBA Summer National Championships in 1981. 1981 was also Jeff’s first year marching in the Santa Clara Vanguard when the Corps won the DCI championships. During his five years marching with the Santa Clara Vanguard, Jeff played euphonium and lead baritone before becoming Drum Major in 1985, his age out year. In 1987, Jeff joined the staff of the Spirit of Sunnyvale Marching Youth Band, where he served as a marching/music technician before becoming the Director of the Band in 1989. After a brief absence from drum corps, Jeff joined the San Francisco Renegades and was one of their Drum Majors for the 2003 and 2004 seasons. In 2004, he took on the additional role of marching technician and continued in that role through the 2005 season. Jeff has also been a member of the marching staffs of Clovis High School in Clovis, Monta Vista High School in Cupertino, and Logan High School in Union City. Jeff has continued to be active in the Santa Clara Vanguard Organization as a participant and supporter.

I always liked to tell Jeff that when my daughter and I watch 85 SCV and the camera focus is on him on the podium, my daughter imitates his directing of the corps. Too cute...... SCV is in good hands............ Congratulations, Jeff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
