Meet The Members: 2018 SCV Color Guard

May 14, 2018 | Blog Post, Santa Clara Vanguard

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, puts in the extra effort to lead by example, and sets a standard for the entire group. We are proud to announce our 2018 Santa Clara Vanguard Color Guard Leadership Team: Megan Smith and Cheslee Morgan!

“This year’s color guard is full of incredibly talented and passionate performers, and I am so excited to have both our captains from the 2017 season returning to the leadership team,” said Daniel Riley, SCV Color Guard Caption Manager. “This will be Cheslee’s 4th summer as a member, and Megan’s 6th. Together, I am certain their experience and positive energy will help the SCV color guard push the bar to new heights!”

It is our pleasure to introduce the 2018 Santa Clara Vanguard Color Guard Leadership Team:
