After a rigorous audition process, Bridge City High School student Ian Roberts has received a contract to march with the BLUE STARS this summer. They are a world class drum corps based in La Crosse, Wisconsin. He will spend his summer traveling all over the country performing and competing in numerous Drum Corps International shows and events.
About the Blue Stars-The La Crosse Blue Stars were founded in 1964 as a color guard and soon after added brass and percussion to the roster to become a competitive drum & bugle corps. One of the founding members of Drum Corps International, the corps became a powerhouse in the 1970s before running into financial difficulties in the early 80s.
The group reorganized as a small group, competing on the Drum Corps International tour as an A-60/Division II/III corps through the 80s, 90s, and 00s. During this era, the Blue Stars were 19-time finalists and the 1989, 1993, 2001, and 2003 World Champions.
In 2006 the La Crosse corps made its return to World Class competition, becoming a perennial finalist and thrilling audiences throughout the United States.
