The unusual seasons of Blue Devils B and Vanguard Cadets

The unusual seasons of Blue Devils B and Vanguard Cadets

It’s been an unusual season for a couple of Open Class powerhouses. Blue Devils B and Vanguard Cadets have both stayed in California and their seasons are already over. You might think the members and staff would be disappointed by that, but you’d be wrong. Dan Potter talks with directors Efrain Hinojosa of Blue Devils B and Rob Shetland of Vanguard Cadets in the afterglow of their Golden State-centric 2019 tours.
