Mission

Bluecoats creates performing arts experiences that inspire, educate, and promote excellence as we enrich the lives of young people, and those who encounter their art.

Vision

A Bluecoats Community enriched by a spectrum of programming, ranging from a student’s first experience with the performing arts to our world-renowned drum corps. Creativity, integrity, and personal development are emphasized in our constant pursuit of excellence.

Values

  • We pursue excellence in everything we do, knowing that through that pursuit we learn the focus, resilience, and determination required to succeed at every level.

  • We value innovation, originality, and new ideas as we create cutting edge art that inspires awe, passion, and joy.

  • We continuously strive to create a diverse, equitable artistic space that celebrates individual expression while fostering a safe environment.

  • Responsibility, trustworthiness, and fairness are vital in all things - to our young people, amongst our staff, and in the creation of our art.

  • The achievement of creative, educational, and moral excellence is only possible when we all work together - from field to office to stands - to create a better, more cohesive whole.
