The Blue Devils have traveled the country each summer, year after year, visiting different cities and states almost daily, leaving behind our home of Concord, California and experiencing the world in a wholly unique and unforgettable way.
And while the corps may visit different cities each season, and each and every tour is distinct, a common experience for more than three decades that has provided a “home away from home” for everyone in the Blue Devils family: Devils Food.
In the last 30 years, Devils Food has served over 1,000,000 meals. It’s traveled over 400,000 miles. As you can imagine, the wear and tear of traveling across the United States, year after year, has taken its toll. The rising costs of ongoing maintenance, transportation, and fuel, make it necessary to make changes and our beloved, aging Devils Food is set to retire this winter.
Please help us fund the next iteration of Devils Food.
With safer, more efficient cooking and refrigeration, expanded storage, and an improved work flow, the Food Crew will be able to serve the members and staff in a much better way which will then enhance everyone’s experience.
Your donation will help BD Performing Arts provide over 44,000 meals to the A Corps members and staff each summer and set up a state-of-the-art, rolling kitchen that will last us for the next 20 years or more!
