Bluecoats posted on Twitter that today is anniversary of the death of Billie Holiday at age 44.

Lady Day.

A surreal talent. "All-time great" would be an understatement.

Left us at way too young an age.

I thought Bluecoats were established in 1972.  That’s my first year in corps. 

2 seasons they didn't field a corp.

I think God Bless the Child may have been her 44th session? And she did 44 sessions for the Columbia label?

1 of 4 songs recorded in Session 44.

I did some research when the show theme came out...i believe that though they were founded in 1972, their first DCI show was 73 and they were inactive for one year.

I think '78 and '83

They have not fielded every year.

I don’t think ‘78.  I remember seeing them that year.

1974 was Bloo's first show.  This is 44 since.
