In 1968, the corps embarked on its first tour to the Midwest. After discussing and rejecting several possible names, the corps chose Santa Clara Vanguard. They waited until its members met for rehearsal the following week to select a name. After the members chose a drum and bugle corps, their parents immediately started a new booster club to support the new corps.
After the vote, three adults took the corps' members aside and asked them if they would prefer to continue as a drum and bugle corps or to become a drum and bell corps. In March 1967, citing differences of opinion in the artistic direction of the Sparks Drum & Bugle Corps, its parents support group voted to return the corps to its former activity as a drum and bell corps with majorettes.
