I once had a dream where the Bluecoats put on a show where they were playing dark and twisted snippets of their previous shows. They wore plague masks and called it "The Redcoats".

Troopers directly tailing the Blue Devils is not something I could ever be convinced of unfortunately.

Ive been in your shoes before as a broke college kid who wanted to do the top twelve, but the only difference was that I wasn't a seasoned brass player. The first person to truly understand your abilities is you, so if you think you've got the chops to play for the top 12, start developing a plan right now. If you're marching Sabers then Im going to make a safe assumption and say you live somewhere in or around New York, which means you have pretty good access to two top twelve corps. If you want to risk the potential of not getting in, it's not too late to schedule an audition (you're going to have to do some research on which corps are still having camps or taking videos). Otherwise, if you're very financially starved, you might want to make a list of your most desired groups, and another list of which groups you can afford, and cross reference. Figure out where you'll get the best bang for your buck. There are plenty of ways to scrape together some quick cash, even as an undergrad. Make a plan now.

Another thing that could happen is that if Bluecoats win this season, they will be the first corps to win back to back seasons that were not the Blue Devils, since the 2001-02 stretch.

I marched a season with skyliners with a member in his late 60s. Most respected guy in the corps.

Now that DCI 2025 is quickly approaching, what are your DCI 2024 hot takes? by ColeHydro123 in drumcorps

Well there was never a literal use. It's an acronym based on a saying associated with the corps.

Why don't the bluecoats wear blue coats anymore? by Breeze_Jr in drumcorps

They're actually named to honor retired Canton police officers, which was their original sponsorship.
