It may seem surprising, but the color blue is a relatively modern invention. The only ancient culture that had a word for blue was the Ancient Egyptians. And yet, the color BLUE has flourished in a multitude of incarnations reaching far beyond the discovery of Lapis Lazuli. Dancing on the historical timeline of this mysterious, dynamic color, the 2022 Blue Devils celebrate their 65th Anniversary with TEMPUS BLUE.
This summer, Blue Devils B is proud to present their 2022 program – "I AM". This year’s show celebrates the nuance of individuality through 4 distinct movements that explore the way we express ourselves and connect with others. Featuring original music with diverse influences and a classic drum corps treatment, this year's show is sure to excite audiences as BDB returns to Open Class Championships for the first time since 2018!
After 2 years away, Blue Devils C is back in action this summer and incredibly excited to announce their 2022 program – It’s About Time! At its heart, this year’s program is literally about exploring the concept of time and how we experience it in our daily lives. However, the title is also a play on words to acknowledge that after so long without drum corps, “It’s About Time” we’re back together again!
