He is the diner worker in the painting. His backstory in our "dream" is he's just back from the war...

Thank you!

Just a quick shout-out to everyone who contributed support and kind words towards BD this season in this thread (and on DCP in general). It was definitely a special year for BD (as well as SCV), and a GREAT year for drum corps in general. Until 2018...

Dave Glyde and I wrote solo's to have the members audition on, then once the soloists were selected, the members were allowed to create within what was there. When you hear the show in the summer, the solos will be consistent night to night, because visuals and other music are written to match what is going on solo wise. In the end, they are written with some improvisation inherent in the end product.

Dave Glyde is the music coordinator and main arranger for The Blue Devils. From there, Wayne Downey is the brass arranger, Scott Johnson the battery arranger, and Jim Wunderlich the front ensemble arranger. I am the brass caption head. See here for further clarification... BD Staff I am also the music coordinator and brass arranger for the B & C Corps groups, but NOT the A Corps. Hope this helps... Enjoy the summer!

Yep! Adam had been in Clovis working the System Blue Trumpet Camp and also performed the National Anthem for the Stanford show. Amazing musician and person.

Absolutely!

We did get our shipment of ChopSaver, THANK YOU Dan. Personally, I have been using ChopSaver exclusively since I was first introduced to it a few years ago. This was the second year offering your product to our members. When I passed out the individual tubes this past summer, the members rushed in with anticipation to receive theirs and I overheard comments like "my chops always feel refreshed". In regards to the concerns about the SPF difference between DCT and ChopSaver, I have had no issues. I find that more chop problems during the summer are caused by the wind versus the sun (assuming some sort of sunscreen is being used on the chops). Thanks again Dan, I look forward to using your product for years to come.

Dr. Chip Crotts will not be replacing anyone on the current Blue Devil brass staff, he is just joining the staff already in place.

Send me an e-mail with your mailing address Scooter, and I will send you one. We're hoping to release them early 2010. I could not have been happier with how they played and sounded this season. John

BD is... 24 Trumpets 16 Mellophones 24 Euphoniums 12 Tubas 76 Total Enjoy the season!
