BlueView Episode Hits 10,000 Downloads In One Week
Since the first episode of The Blue Devils Podcast “BlueView” the number of viewers of the program has been growing. Christensen Media is proud to announce the 10,000th download of the most recent episode in one week. “That is up 58% from our previous episode,” states John Christensen, producer/director. “I’m sure it didn’t hurt to have the brass perform parts of this season’s show at the end of the program. Fans want to know what’s going on in the off-season and thanks to the internet they can get their drum corps fix for free!” All three episodes to date have been downloaded 40,000 times.
Camp Reports a Growing Trend
The use of web videos and podcasts are becoming the norm for most drum corps. As the broadband market continues its reach into more homes, video and audio access to the corps is a great tool to help promote the activity.
