Santa Clara Vanguard 2024 - Percussion Ensemble 

Hands down my favorite percussion section of 2024, wish them them all of the luck in competition

I marched under Ralph, and in his words, "those are some crispy critters." Holy cats...

Snareline balance is unreal. Bravo.

Fundamental teaching. It will always trump all else. This is what it looks and sounds like. 👍🏻

Sampling Kendrick goes absolutely bonkers 🔥

Dude the snares are so crispy, can't wait to see them today

Sheesh okay Santa Van Guard I hear you and see you. Edge of your seat performance. Everything was crisp, from the pit to the bass splits

Some of the tenors’ harness tans are hilarious 😂

Best looking drums out of everyone, the red rims and hardware are so clean

A YO who Pissed y’all off!?!? This shit is Ridunkulous!!! My GOD!!! Now that’s what u call a Percussion ensemble at its finest!! WTH is gonna sound like Finals night?? 😂😂😂 #TitleComingBackToTheWest

Rennick layers things so cleverly.

That was excellent! Greetings from sunny Spain ☀️🌴

I SEE YOU CYMBALS 💪✅

The balance and layering from front to back is phenomenal.

Loving those marimba runs in the beginning!

Love the same little hand visuals I see in SCV drumline every year. So interested in the history behind those things

Loving this SCV line so much! It was an honor sharing the field with you!

Amazing! Great quality of sound ,music & excellence..

Thank you so much for the quality writing and amazing execution! This is the most musical ensemble out there - no ramming …. musicianship is so evident. I mean the detail with expression / touch - all things. Thank you so much team SCV.

SCV percussion = 🥇!!

Soooooo much amazing vanguard coverage this year…

Wow! Awesome video! Great job SCV drumline.

SCV..the greatest Drumlines in DCI History!

Damn! This Corps was awesome in the 80's. They're MORE AWESOMER TODAY!!! Well Done!!!

3:33 One of the coolest sounding marimba parts

Highly impressive...loved it

I love my cymbal homies fr

Crispy as usual. Glad you're back SCV.

Well written as always and flawless execution.

Ain’t no way I didn’t get to watch the basses during their feature

JONZ - sounding absolutely killer

they're sooooo backkkk

Love the aesthetics of the drum color.

12:18 Go! Go! Go!

Shout out to kendrick lamar

Love how the lines actually musical and mature. Unlike the Blue devils who just spam chops at mezz forte or forte

Incredible.

Currently in 6th place. Not bad for taking a year off. Most exciting show that I've seen (just saw West coast shows). Might be too difficult to get clean before August, though.

12:16 is so rennick

harness tan line goes hard

I have a question. Why does only SCV play Dynasty drums? I know Rennick has a deal with them but why doesn't any other ensemble use them? Are they more expensive? They sound fine to me. Do any WGI lines play Dynasty?

They’re gonna peak at the perfect time and the title will be without argument theirs

For the algorithm. ✊

Yeah Owen!!!!!!

Im taking notes

Love the view of Jase Ballard starting at 3:04😋😋😋

They ain't slick with the cut at the end😂😂

OMG!!!

historical line.

oh. my. goodness.

1:05

Here before the "For the algorithm" guy

How can you not capture the bass line during some of their best moments? Caught the cymbals jumping around doing a bunch of nothing lmao

A comment for the code!

That’s a lot of crotales

Thought there was a fly on my screen at 3:10 🤣

KungFuKenny Vanguard

Why they look like they're starving😂

OVERCAST

BEFORE you SCV kids start throwing things, I have a few questions. (1) Why would DCI make Mike Leitzke the percussion judge at 2024 Finals? This guy is an Environmental Science major, not a legitimately qualified adjudicator. I struggle with why in the hell DCI would ever place this judge on the Finals judging panel WITH SO MANY FAR MORE QUALIFIED PEOPLE WHO COULD HAVE ADDED LEGITIMACY TO THE PERCUSSION AWARD. (2) IF SCV truly did whip together the finest line at 2024 Finals, you might as well ship the 2025 trophy to them right now, because how can any drum line program take a year off - and in 22 shows after a year from competition..BLOW past everyone else? Just look at their scores/placings over the 2024 season? (3) Paul Rennick worked at Phantom Regiment for years, and just how many drum trophies did Paul conjure when in Rockford? Drumroll....... As a horn player who has won high horns twice, and played professionally , I know that our horn line could have never taken a year off and then come back and win - IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

Not very innovative but clean I guess
