Policy Task Force Completes Review Of Corporate Policy
Recently the Policy Task Force of the Bluecoats Executive Committee completed a periodic review of corporate policy, particularly several youth protection and health, wellness & safety policies. On January 19th, the Board of Directors adopted these revised policies with this resolution.
We have made a list of several of these policies publicly available at bluecoats.com/policies. It includes the newly adopted Anti-Racism Policy, drafted in collaboration with the Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Council.
Bluecoats Adopts Anti-Racism Policy, Bans Hate Groups & Symbols
In the last eleven months, we have been reminded of the grip of systemic and individual racism on our society and in our communities. In May, we committed to not simply disavowing racism, but to advancing an antiracist culture in the Bluecoats Community, and to taking active steps to making our organization a better place. Since then, our Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Council has been working on these measures. Recently, this council worked together with the Policy Task Force of our Executive Committee to develop an Anti-Racism Policy that cements our commitment to this idea at the highest level of governance in our organization.

Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Council Meets To Set Goals
Last month we announced the formation of the Diversity & Inclusion Advisory Council at Bluecoats. This council’s first purpose is to ensure that Black voices within our community are engaged as we advance an anti-racist culture within our community.
Without our usual summer drum corps programming to focus on, now is the time for Bluecoats to take swift action and ensure that, even without the drum corps on the field, our values continue to make an impact. To that end, we would like to share these four action steps that we will begin work on today.

After Summer Tour Cancellation, 2020 Drum Corps Will Not Take The Field
Yesterday, together with our fellow members of Drum Corps International, we made the difficult decision to cancel our 2020 drum corps season. The field will go dark, the music will stop, and decades-long traditions like the local “Innovations In Brass” drum corps competition will be canceled.
Today we join in support of all who love the drum corps tradition. We are confident that, together, we will #MarchOn, and we are already overwhelmed by the support that our community is providing.
