History on the BlueDevils (BEFORE WE CAUSE CONTROVERSY!);

The Blue Devils are a world-renowned drum and bugle corps based in Concord, California, and are part of Drum Corps International (DCI). The name "Blue Devils" does not have any direct affiliation with the devil in a religious or mythical sense. Instead, it was inspired by the Concord High School's mascot, the Blue Devils. The name was chosen to reflect the same mascot, which is common in various sports teams and organisations and does not typically carry any satanic connotations.

The Blue Devils are known for their high level of performance, precision, and innovative shows, contributing significantly to the marching arts community. Their focus is on musical excellence, discipline, and entertainment, rather than any association with the devil.
