762:--- I finally saw a video of the "lights out" show...spectacular recovery...I don't know if the 84 corps would've done the same thing had the lights gone out on us. And a friend of mine from the 99bari line said they only learned the closing moves of the show THAT DAY!! Makes the marching/playing in teh dark even more impressive.

Removed section about the Blue Devils being the "Oakland
Raiders" of DCI. No definite source for such statement, and such statement can be regarded as blatant opinion of one individual, who feels that the Blue Devils are a disrespectful organization. While everyone is entitled to their own opinion of

I've been involved with the Blue Devils since 1972 as a marching member (6 years), tour director (2 years), transportation manger (2 years) and as
President, Secretary, Director at Large of the Board of Directors for 15 years. Throughout my past 42 years, I do find that a number of people still use

Uhhh....re the supposed 2007 vocals....someone point out where this "demonic laughter" is...I saw the show several times during the season and have both the finals audio and the encore video and have never heard any amplified vocals. The battery yells "Here come Heaven" at one point, but that was

I dunno...I just put my ear on my speakers...I heard pit effects and Space Chords....but no demonic laughter....if it was there, it wasn't very loud. I don't ever remember hearing it, and I saw the show a number of times throughout the season. In fact...I went to the 5.1 recording from the 07

Have heard them called "the Devs" on rare occasions, usually by people who are not close to the activity, not by hard-corps fans... On the other hand, I have heard them called "BD" many, many times for many years--- also "BDB" & "BDC" for the B & C corps...
662:
In addition, there was a vocal during and after the long roll in the 85 version of the Karn Evil #9 percussion feature (We ALMOST did the same thing in 84, but it never made it out of the practice arc), so the idea of BD vocalizing is not new.
722:
It isn't on the 5.1. In fact, I don't remember amps being used at all during that recording. On the championship performance (Inside BD 2007) it starts exactly at 2:44 and ends exactly at 2:55. Turn up your bass...it's deep!

Both the B and C corps articles should be merged into this article, per the deletion discussion outcome for the C corps, and my suggestion for the B corps. Neither needs a stand-alone article, they are feeders for this outfit.

Oh....THAT sound! I didn't recognize it as laughter...sounds more like someone dragging a bass mallet across the head! Star of
