My dad died 5 days ago, and he was a HUGE Vanguard fan. Before he died, and was unconscious, I’d hold my phone and play this and I know I saw him smile..
My father played in the Santa Clara Vanguard he was in the B-core for 5 years and the A-core for 3 and he was lead trumpet for the A-core years and i remember going to a reunion and i looked at my dad when this was playing and he had tears in his eyes, now i can't blame him, i had some in my eyes too. I hope that one day i will join SCV and play this for my dad one day. SCV FOR LIFE
My husband who died just over a month ago had this played at his funeral. He loved Drum Corps and we used to finals for about seven years to America from UK to feed our love of music thanks SCV
I’d just like to let anyone that cares know that I was walking with my seat partner on the corner of Lucas Oil that you can see while this was happening. I heard the beginning of it and knew what was going on so I looked around for the corps. It sounded clear as day so I thought they had to be close, but couldn’t find them...but come the first chord at
Damn, this is gonna date me!!! But I remember playing this as the exit, then going right into the bottle dance! I played 1970-1974 soprano....loved watching the reaction of Gail Royer, Fred Sanford, & Pete Emmons on the side. Also, once we exited the field, getting a thumbs up from drum major Tim Moxley.
Okay 17, you just melted this old alum's heart. You can tell when a corps has ripped the nob off, moved beyond attitude, and straight into class. Wish I could've seen this in person.
That moment when you realize it's the end of your Drum Corps career, and you beg and plead with the universe to let that final chord last forever.

This isn't just a core memory. This is a corps memory.

I miss my people, 2018 can't come fast enough
If I was there, I'd probably have cried.
it's so beautiful knowing I get to join this legacy over the summer. I can't wait for my first season with SCV, TNPLSC ❤️💚
This has brought me to tears for many years. For some reason it represents the heart of a Drum and Bugle Corp. Thank you.
Some are saying good bye I'll miss you all.

I regret watching this in class
Truly one of the most beautiful presentations ever from any corps. Gorgeous 🥲
I was impressed because this is a song they have played for 50 years at the end of their performance.
This was my grandmother’s favorite songs. The first time I heard SCV play it. I cried. Never let go of your roots! Thank you for holding on!!!

When I marched, we played this as a closer, with full battery. I am so pleased that this is the corps song and it still makes me weep.
