The Marching Illini have 350 members. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicineMan Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I find this absolutely exhilerating that the BlueCoats Alumni are going to perform as part of DCI's 50 th Anniversary Celebration tonight. And with so many former corps members participating ; this is going to be a performance to cherish and remember for a lifetime. You are representing not only a wonderful Bluecoats organization; but also all the former DCI participants of every corps who for one last time would love to hear the roar of the crowd and perform as if it was yesterday and life was so young. I HOPE THAT YOU ALL HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIVES TONIGHT. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to give out any of the show secrets, although most will be known tomorrow night after their performance in Akron. All I'm saying is a NEW STANDARD is being set for Alumni Corps performances at DCI semifinals Friday night. 425 members doing it the Bluecoats way. If you can come out and see them live tomorrow night you will NOT regret it!!! ps the 2022 version of the Bluecoats did a full run tonight for the Alumni Corps. It was indeed their best run of the year. Tomorrow night is going to be FUN! I have heard a few minor things about this from a few Bloooo alumni connected folks!! Been looking forward to it all summer!! I feel like I am spending an absurd amount of $$ for a 48 hour trip to Indy, but I know once Friday night is over I'll feel like I would have spent 5x that amount!! Should be an AWESOME weekend for my first time to DCI finals weekend!!! See you all in the oil can 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Drew Brees & Purdue came to L.A. for a game. It may have been his first start. It was HOT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
