With an undefeated season, The Bluecoats win their third World Championship.
The Bluecoats are once again World Champions! The corps took home the gold medal and Founders’ Trophy following three spectacular performances at the DCI World Championships and a season that included the corps’ first tour of California and the Western States since 2009. The 2026 summer tour marked the Bluecoats’ second-ever undefeated season and its highest-ever score of 99.1.
The corps’ perfect season also included the Donald Angelica Best General Effect Award, the John Brazale Best Visual Performance Award, the Fred Sanford Best Percussion Performance Award, and the Bluecoats’ first-ever George Zingali Best Color Guard Award.
The Bluecoats organization wishes to express its congratulations to fellow medalists The Blue Devils and Carolina Crown and all of the outstanding drum corps it met in competition this season.
Auditions for the 2027 season will take place in Texas, Ohio, Georgia, California, and online beginning in November. Visit bluecoats.com/join for more information.
