MikeN Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 http://bluedevils.org/news/story.php?newsID=621 RCC Indoor Percussion is joining the BD org. That's actually very cool. I know BD is sometimes the "evil empire" of DCI, but even considering the money they make in relation to everyone else, the services and ensembles they put on are fairly staggering.

afd Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 It's funny but the Riverside show is basically now the unofficial BD home show. They have been linked unofficially but now it's official. They also get a lot of guard members from James Logan World Guard. Downey is the arranger for the RCC Marching Band. And other staff on BD is also on the RCC staff.

Pete Freedman Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Congratulations to both the Blue Devils and Riverside Community College. Those two have been "shacking up" for some time, it's nice to see them make it official. Actually this is something that is missing in the activity; partnerships between the academic performing arts world, which provide the full programs including music theory, etc. for nine months out of the year, and drum corps, which provides a professional tour experience in a condensed show format appropriate for education purposes during the other three months. What about other partnerships with top schools? Which corps would make good partnerships with Juilliard, Southern Methodist, Boston College, Princeton, etc. In dance there are Skidmore, Juilliard (again), Rutgers, Oberlin. Boston College should list BAC as a summer partner program. DCI, more of this, please. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flammaster Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'm just wondering how long it will be until Foothill High school is announced as the feeder for BDB. (because it is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.E. Brigand Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I figured this thread was about some BD partnership, but still chuckled at the title because the best marching band (by far) at the contest I attended last weekend was named the "Blue Devils".

ibexpercussion Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Sounds like Pinky and the Brain may be pat of the board of directors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsubone Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 They weren't a part of them already? I thought they pretty much were, with most of BD's staff teaching or designing there, and a bunch of their members passing through RCC. Guess the only change now is the label.
