2020 Audition Experience Camps Come to a Close
This past Saturday marked the final event in a string of four Audition Experience Camps operated by the Bluecoats in Texas, Ohio, Georgia, and California. Nearly 1,000 students from North America, Asia, and Europe collectively traveled hundreds of thousands of miles in the hopes of earning a spot in the 2020 Bluecoats.
“Every year it really is humbling, seeing them pour out of the airport with their drumsticks or horns in tow,” said Mike Scott, CEO of Bluecoats. “We’re honored time and again by the sheer number of high school and college students who want to be a part of the corps. Hundreds of these students are just hoping to spend a weekend with us and get a glimpse of the ‘Bluecoats Experience.’”
