Founded in 1964, Blue Stars earned the silver medal at the very first Drum Corps International World Championship in 1972, finishing just .65 of a point away from winning the inaugural event. After competing for many years in Divisions II & III, the corps moved back into Division I competition in 2006 for the first time since the mid-1980s.
The mission of the Blue Stars is to provide the membership with educational and performance opportunities in the area of performance arts to help them to develop life skills. Members learn through teamwork, dedication, a strong work ethic, setting goals, and discipline, that success can be achieved both on and off the performance field.
