In December of 2011, the Blue Devil Brigade represented the state of Georgia at the 70th Anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, HI. They even won the Grand Championship at the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade, and Rickey L. Savage, the band director at the time, was awarded the flag that flew over the U.S.S.
