Blue Devils Special Needs Color Guard will perform at the 2014 California Circuit Championships

The world renowned Blue Devils of Concord, one of only a handful of special needs color guard groups in the nation, will be performing at the California Circuit Championships on March 29th at Independence High School in San Jose, California.
