Through Vickers&#8217; leadership, every drum corps show &#8211; no matter how big or small &#8211; received coverage. If no one was scheduled to cover a particular show, Vickers was known to have called around until he found someone willing to do so.<\/p><p>For many years, his passion for drum corps ensured that most Drum Corps International (and smaller regional association) events received publicity in Drum Corps World as he believed every corps was important and worthy of recognition.<\/p><p>David Scott, a personal friend of Vickers said, &#8220;When I look back over the years, it is amazing to consider that Steve has devoted practically his entire life to the drum corps bugle corps activity. He has been a marching member, journalist, publisher, editor, board of director&#8217;s president, show promoter, public relations director, philanthropist, historian and advocate.&#8221;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f84e444 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f84e444\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Hall of Fame Induction Speech<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-84b6efd elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"84b6efd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/f9JQvJo2ugQ&quot;,&quot;mute&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;loop&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;lazy_load&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":32399,"template":"","hall-of-fame-year":[43],"class_list":["post-32381","hall-of-fame","type-hall-of-fame","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","hall-of-fame-year-43"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
