Rick Valenzuela steps down as Vanguard director
Santa Clara Vanguard has announced Rick Valenzuela's resignation as director of the corps, effective October 31st, 2005. The Santa Clara Vanguard greatly appreciates Rick's 20+ years of commitment to the corps, the SCV organization, to Drum Corps International and most importantly to the marching members.
Rick has been involved with the Vanguard since the early 1980s. He was a member of the A-Corps soprano line (1983 -1989). He joined the SCV Visual Staff in 1990 where he worked with the corps for many years. Rick accepted the A-Corps Director position in 2000. Rick was named DCI 'Director of the Year' in 2002 and has served on the Executive Board for DCI. He led the participation of the Vanguard in the 2004 Tournament of Roses Parade.
Rick has agreed to help with the selection of his successor and to continue in a mentor role once that successor has been named.
