Audition and membership information from DrumCorps.net

Difficulty is an estimate for a youth development corps with an audition process; confirm current age and eligibility rules with BD Performing Arts. The organization’s FAQ gives an approximate participation range of $2,000–$2,800, depending on the season’s schedule, and says fees vary by year. DCI’s latest verified 2026 event score found for Blue Devils C was 62.100 at DCI West; this is an event score, not a championship placement. See official Blue Devils C fees and audition FAQ and official DCI West recap.

Blue Devils C is BD Performing Arts’ Northern California youth program for developing performers. It is distinct from Blue Devils A and B, with its own instruction and California performance focus. Eligibility and experience expectations are set by the organization and may change over time. Official program overview.
