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 it 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. The corps has traveled to every world championship since 2012. Despite their cadet corps status, the Vanguard Cadets won their division in 2000, 2008, 2013, 2015 & 2017.
