The Bluecoats 2021 Drum Majors

We’re excited to announce our drum majors for the 2021 Bluecoats! Nick Kneupper and David Davenport will lead our drum corps this season, beginning this weekend with our first pre-season Camp in the Cloud!

Nick Kneupper

This is Nick’s sixth season with the Bluecoats. He served as a horn sergeant and mellophone section leader in 2019, and drum major in 2020.

“The 2021 season is such an incredible opportunity to revive the heart and soul of our activity and I am so excited to play a role in that process. I can’t wait to get out onto the field after nearly two years and show our fans what the Bluecoats have in store for this unusual but memorable summer tour!”

David Davenport

This is David’s third season with the Bluecoats. He served as a conductor in 2019 and assistant drum major in 2020. Before Bluecoats, David performed with Carolina Gold Drum and Bugle Corps in 2017 and was the drum major at Christopher Newport University for three years.

“I am excited to take the field this summer with the Bluecoats for their 2021 season. Having access to world-class instruction and being able to learn from the best in the activity is an invaluable experience. I can not wait to grow, make more memories, and see my Bluecoats family once again. Six words, LET’S GO BLOO!!”
