Blue Devils C is an educational marching music ensemble for high school students ages 14–17, drawing members from within a 200-mile radius of Concord, California. Prior experience is beneficial and recommended—students will develop advanced skills in music, dance, and performance within a supportive and challenging environment.

History
BD Performing Arts began in 1957 when the Concord branch of the V.F.W. acquired the Martinettes (an
50-member all-boy drum corps and all-girl drill team) and founded the Blue Devils – named "Blue" for the
V.F.W. color and "Devils" after Concord's local landmark, Mt. Diablo. Read the full
history of BDPA.
In 1968, the then-Junior Drum and Bell Corps transitioned to a Senior Drum and Bell Corps (eventually
becoming the current Blue Devils A Corps) and a new Junior Corps was established.
Then, in 1973, the Blue Devils Junior Drum and Bell Corps was converted to a B
Bugle Corps, and an even younger-aged C Bugle Corps was established.
Today, Blue Devils C contains 70 members who perform in parades and field competitions around
California.
