  1. 2026 Bluecoats Homecoming Weekend Article and Photos

    With the end of the 2026 drum corps season, I thought it would be good to look back at the photos, articles, and coverage I wrote throughout the season, starting with the very first show in June at the Bluecoats Homecoming Weekend at the University of Mount Union in Alliance, Ohio.

  4. 2014 Carolina Crown – Out Of This World

    One of my Bluesky friends posted lyrics from Major Tom on my feed to celebrate the successful return of Artemis II from its mission around the moon. This reminded me of when Carolina Crown performed this song as part of their 2014 production, Out of This World.

  5. Agape – Nicholas Britell

    This past drum corps season (2024, for those of you reading this further in the future), two groups performed the Nicholas Britell composition “Agape” in their shows. The song, originally written for the film If Beale Street Could Talk, is very haunting while uplifting, and its title’s meaning dates back to ancient Greece:

    Agape (/ɑːˈɡɑːpeɪ, ˈɑːɡəˌpeɪ, ˈæɡə-/;[1] from Ancient Greek ἀγάπη (agápē)) is “the highest form of love, charity” and “the love of God for [human beings] and of [human beings] for God”. 1

    While I loved how the Bluecoats and the Mandarins used Agape in their productions, I had not listened to the original composition until today. It stilled my mind as I could do nothing but listen to it. I hope it does the same for you.
