Video: 2012 Blue Devils Percussion Auditions

Blue Devil hopefuls recently tried out for the 2012 A Corps.

The Concord-based Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps carry out auditions to replenish its award-winning group of musicians and performers at the end of each year. This year was no different. 

Concord Patch stopped by the College Park High School gymnasium earlier this month, where talented percussionists showed up to show off and try out for one of 17 spots available in the 2012 percussion line. 

Tryouts are now over and those chosen to be part of the 150-member world-class corps will start training for the 2012 season in January.
