Meet the Members: 2018 SCV Drum Majors

Jan 29, 2018 | Uncategorized, Santa Clara Vanguard, Blog Post

At the center of every strong drum corps is a strong team of member leadership who serves the corps both on and off the field. As a liaison between performers and staff, this team of veteran members takes on additional responsibility and puts in the extra effort to lead by example and set a standard for the entire group. We are proud to announce our 2018 Santa Clara Vanguard Drum Majors: Carl Huang, Mason Emken, and Mykal McGrew!

“We are extremely excited to introduce our drum majors for the upcoming 2018 season,” said Shaun Gallant, VMAPA Director of Programs and SCV Corps Director. “These three have a combined total of 13 years in the Vanguard Organization, and they truly model the values and vision of the Santa Clara Vanguard. SCV will continue to grow both on and off the field under the leadership of these three individuals!”
