AVANT GARDE HALL OF FAME
MISSION STATEMENT
The Avant Garde Hall of Fame was established to celebrate the contributions
made by Avant Garde performers, show staff, administration, support personnel
and volunteers during the course of our history. The main requirements are:
dedication, determination, drive for excellence, sense of community and Esprit de
Corps.
Criteria for Entry
Eligibility
The eligibility period started Jan 1 st 1975 and continues to Present Day
Participation in 1 entire season culminating with the season-ending event. i.e.,
DCI Nationals, Northeast Circuit Championship or Flag Day weekend.
Candidate’s application must be resubmitted for consideration each year to be
considered for the subsequent year’s induction
Candidate may be living or deceased
Nomination
Nominations for Year 3 induction into the Avant Garde Hall of Fame are open
year-round. The nominations must be received by the Hall of Fame Committee no
later than FEBRUARY 1 st 2023 to be considered for the honor of induction into the
2023 Hall of Fame class. The email address/mailing address for submitting your
nomination will be under the General Rules and Guidelines section of this
document
FOR 2023 ONLY, we are allowing the nomination of up to 5 candidates. This will
give the election committee the ability to choose up to 15 candidates (again, this
will be for 2023 only) for entry into the 2023 HOF class. This will compensate for
the years the HOF was non-existent.
We will amend these numbers moving forward.
While popularity is certainly part of the nomination process, it should not be the
only consideration. When nominating someone for the HOF, please consider the entire body of work of the nominee. Contributions made by the nominee during
their time with the corps should reflect everything included in our mission
statement, along with any above and beyond actions and accomplishments.
When nominating a candidate, it is important to include meaningful contributions
that the nominee made during their affiliation with the organization. Specific
examples of these contributions are important. Pictures that help validate your
nomination are important, as well. Finally, a written statement by the nominating
individual for each candidate is extremely important.
No groups or sections shall be nominated at this time.
Election
Election Period Ends March 1 st 2023
The voting Committee will consist of current Hall of Fame members. The voting
will be completed by secret ballot submitted to the Hall of Fame committee.
FOR 2023 ONLY, we will be electing up to 15 inductees into the 2023 HOF Class.
