"GO VIC" reminds me of that Hillshire Farms commercial where they yell "GO MEAT" at the end. I'm picturing someone holding up a pair of sticks in mid turn yelling "GO VIC" like in the commercial  Back on topic. I agree that even if he leaves Vic, they'll make it MSwhatever. A lot of people seem to like em, including me. I'm not too worried

Scott Johnson is a sponsor of Vic Firth. It is the Blue Devils organization as a whole that moved over to Pro Mark. So to answer your question, no I doubt that they will discontinue these sticks. True, but don't you think eventually Scott might move over? I could see it happen. I mean, like Sean Vega, Gary (bass drum tech). They all made the switch. So it might just be a matter of time. I don't know.. just somethings I've been hearing around. (And I'm not saying that in a way that it's a bad thing at all. Just stating it out.)

This was discussed when BD originally made the switch. The organization made the switch due to financial benefits. Scott Johnson and the staff are all still endorsed by Vic. They would not discontinue their best-selling marching sticks. Fret not, my friends. You might want to check your facts again. Jim Wunderlich and Sean Vega are both Promark signature artists. Gary Juarez and Ben Maughmer are also endorsed by Promark. Tim Fairbanks is an IP artist. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see Scott Johnson leave VF when his contract with them is up. I've never seen the numbers, but is Scott's stick their best selling marching stick? I would think Ralph's stick would be their best selling marching stick.

Actually, here's what he said:
The Blue Devil Organization is now with Pro Mark.
I, Scott Johnson, am still with Vic Firth.
I, Scott Johnson, am still the Director of Percussion for the Blue Devils.
The only change here is the brand of sticks the BD performers will have in their hands.
The quality of the BD Perc. section will NOT change.
I hope this answers EVERYONES questions and concerns.
ScoJo
No where in there does he say he'll always be signed by Vic Firth, only that he is now with Vic Firth.
