Started in 2014 as a project to provide Bluecoats Alumni an opportunity to perform again, the Legacy Arc has been one of the most unique on-going alumni ensembles in the drum corps activity. A significant number of Bluecoat Alumni, from every decade the corps existed, have performed with the ensemble. The Legacy Arc is a low-commitment group of Bluecoat Alums, with participants receiving links to the music to practice prior to in-person rehearsals and performances. During the Winter and Spring months, Legacy Arc offers rehearsals based on member locations and availability. There are required rehearsals the day before and the day of the performance. 

Musicians do not have to memorize the music, though it is highly encouraged, but are expected to arrive with well-rehearsed parts. Brass players bring their own horn (we do have a few marching tubas available for those individuals). Most battery percussion is provided and dependent on enough individuals participating. Percussion participants will have zoom sectionals from March to June to help music preparation. Color Guard will have videos of the choreography for rehearsing in late winter and have zoom sectionals through May and June.

In 2024, Legacy Arc returned with the addition of a full battery and over 60 performers. Members performed for the Bluecoats Opening Night Celebration, Party in the Plaza, and the Star Spangled Banner at Innovations in Brass, including being featured twice on Flomarching! In 2025, Legacy Arc is debuting a new look and also including opportunities for volunteers that may want to help, but are unable to perform. Music performed will celebrate 1975, 1990, 1995, 2005, and 2015.

Registration will open Spring 2025.
