The Santa Clara Vanguard Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps, known as SCVC or simply as the Vanguard Cadets, is an Open Class (formerly Division II/III) competitive junior drum and bugle corps. Based in Santa Clara, California, the corps is a member of Drum Corps International (DCI) and is the cadet corps of the World Class (formerly Division I) Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps. On August 4, 2015, the Vanguard Cadets won its fourth DCI World Championship in its class.[1]
History
The Santa Clara Vanguard Cadets were formed in 1971 as a cadet feeder and training corps for the rapidly developing Santa Clara Vanguard. Starting out as a parade corps, by the middle of the Seventies, the corps had become a field corps that was more cute than competitive, but by the end of that decade, the Vanguard Cadets had become a truly competitive Class A corps within the West Coast region. The corps did its first major touring in 1990, going as far East as Dallas and Tulsa. In 1991, the corps traveled all the way to Marion, Ohio for the U.S. Open before attending its first DCI World Championships in Dallas, where if placed fourth of nineteen Class A corps, and advanced to Open Class prelims, finishing twenty-seventh of twenty-nine corps. In 1993, the corps became the first cadet corps to achieve DCI membership. However, as a cadet corps with membership generally from ages 15 through 21, the corps does not travel to the DCI World Championships every year, so this membership has not always been retained. Despite their cadet corps status, the Vanguard Cadets won their division in 2000, 2008, 2013 and 2015.[2]
Sponsorship
The Santa Clara Vanguard Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps is sponsored by the Santa Clara Vanguard Booster Club, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has a Board of Directors, corps director, and staff assigned to carry out the organization's mission.

The organization also sponsors the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps, the Santa Clara Vanguard Independent World Winter Guard, the Vanguard Winter Percussion, and the Vanguard Dance Company.[3]
