Last month we announced the formation of the Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Council at Bluecoats. This council’s first purpose is to ensure that Black voices within our community are engaged as we advance an anti-racist culture within our community.

Without our usual summer drum corps programming to focus on, now is the time for Bluecoats to take swift action and ensure that, even without the drum corps on the field, our values continue to make an impact. To that end, we would like to share these four action steps that we will begin work on today.

Bluecoats will hold its Annual Meeting, open to the Voting Membership of the Corporation on November 10th at 11:00 AM ET at the small hall of the Champion Event Center in North Canton, OH. This meeting will be immediately followed by a meeting of the Board of Directors.
