Hello! My name is Miguel Flores-Padilla — I’m returning to The Blue Devils as a Drum Major for the 2025 season.

The Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps is a professional marching arts organization that completes a summer tour across the United States each year, performing a 13 minute show and competing with other corps until our Finals performance in Indianapolis in August.

As Music Education major at Northwestern University, I know it’s my calling to learn from as many musical experiences as possible, and the 2024 season opened my eyes to just how fun this activity is. Performing alongside friends and telling a story larger than any one of us is what I find so rewarding about drum corps.

There are plenty of direct and indirect costs members cover as members. From funding transportation, meals, housing, uniforms, and additional needs throughout the season, any contribution helps as I try my best to budget an exciting year. Thank you for your support and know that any share, donation, or just viewing this page will help me keep pursuing my musical dreams. :-)

Warm regards,

Miguel Flores-Padilla
