Blue Knights Featured in Local News

DENVER, CO – The Blue Knights Drum & Bugle Corps was recently featured on Denver’s Channel 7 news in a story that highlighted their summer national tour. Peter Lipomi, photojournalist, created this feature through hundreds of hours of interviews, rehearsal and show footage as well as visiting the Blue Knights during their recent visit to Denver to compete in Drums Along the Rockies on July 9, 2016.

Peter Lipomi’s story description highlighted below:

“Imagine being a teenager spending your summer vacation traveling the country, sleeping on the bus and gym floors and eating peanut butter sandwiches for most meals. That’s the reality for one group of Colorado kids determined to put in the physical and emotional effort needed to create something bigger than themselves. They are members of the Blue Knights Drum & Bugle Corps, which is a part of the Denver-based Ascend Performing Arts, a nonprofit that hosts events like Drums Along the Rockies. The Blue Knights finished 4th at this year’s Drums Along the Rockies event and will compete at the Drum Corps International World Championships August 12-13. The Blue Knights were founded in 1958 by Fred and Fae Taylor who had a television show on Channel 7 from 1957-1967.”
