Blue Devils Come Out On Top!Blue Devils Come Out On Top!8/15/2010For the second year in a row, the Blue Devils win the gold medal in the World Class! After solid performances over the course of the season, Blue Devils took the top spot on the final night of competition in Indianapolis.

The Blue Devils’ winning program, “Through a Glass, Darkly” was based on the experimental musical selections of Bob Graettinger’s “City of Glass” that was written for Stan Kenton. “We knew it probably wouldn't be the crowd favorite,” said Percussion Arranger Scott Johnson. “I don't want to say we didn't care about the crowd, because we always do, but we wanted to try something different. We figured after last year's success we had to do something different, and the performers bought into it.” 
“I’m not sure how we got there, but I know what made up the organization,” said Blue Devils Executive Director David Gibbs. “It's the staff, designers, instructors, and an amazing group of kids who were committed from day one to the end. The talent and commitment of these kids made it happen.”  Also, Blue Devils B made waves by being named the 2010 DCI Open Class Champions and High Percussion Champions.

Congrats to all our Pearl/Adams Top 12 corps: Blue Knights, Boston Crusaders, Blue Stars, Santa Clara Vanguard, and Blue Devils!
