Lesson Plan
Participate, watch and learn!
This camp will present a chance for students, fans and educators alike to get up-close and personal with a World Champion drum and bugle corps as they prepare for a competition on show day.
You will start by jumping in with a full-corps stretch and visual basics, then head off to the section of your choice to observe and participate in warm-ups. If you wish, bring your drum sticks or mouthpiece and get a chance to test out the Blue Devils equipment.
You will then join the corps in their ensemble rehearsal, seeing the show from the vantage of the top of the stadium and down on the floor as well.
After rehearsal we invite you to join the corps for dinner from our mobile kitchen "Devils Food" and see how the members prepare for their performance, from shining shoes to oiling valves and taping flags!
We will then get a front-row seat at the show at Ralph Wilson stadium and cheer your new Blue Devil friends as they amaze yet another audience!
After the show, end your day with the Blue Devils by stopping by Devils Food for an evening snack and see the corps off as they hit the highway on their way to yet another "Show Day".
