Late last night, the Pleasanton Weekly published a story detailing serious allegations against Efrain Hinojosa, a former employee of BDPA. To our knowledge, the allegations relate to an incident alleged to have occurred many years ago and have no connection to Mr. Hinojosa’s work with BDPA.

Following the wind down of the 2022 Drum Corps season in October, Mr. Hinojosa left BDPA’s employ. He has had no involvement with BDPA or any BDPA programs since his departure.

The well-being of participants in our programs is paramount to BDPA’s commitment to our community and our mission. Concerns or issues one may have about this, or any other matter, can be directed to BDPA by emailing our Ethics Committee at ethics@bluedevils.org.

Kinda glad BD's name wasn't in the article, since the accusations had nothing to DO with BD.

Of course, the question from our side is...was BD aware of these accusations while he worked for the org, or did they bounce him upon finding out?

If they legit didn't know until he was let go, no blame should attach to BD.

Well, they "say" he left on his own in October but the arrest was made in December. I'm no law enforcement professional but I feel like police don't like to work slowly in these situations when said offender is in daily contact with minors. It could go any way but maybe he resigned from BD in October because he thought something was coming up from his past but kept it secret from his current employer. In any event, resigning from BD in October is sort of odd timing with planning for a new season ramping up by that time.
