Elaine Kono

Elaine Kono was first introduced to the Santa Clara Vanguard through her son Kevin who began marching in 1982 as a lead soprano. That first year she volunteered to sew corps uniforms, and even though her son aged out in 1985, Elaine continued to volunteer her time for many more years. She has a deep love for the members in this corps and did everything she could to ensure they enjoy their experience with SCV. Elaine continues her support to this day through scholarships for corps members.
