The Blue Devils completed their three-day sweep of the 2007 Drum Corps International World Championships Saturday night, winning the final show of the season in impression fashion with a 98.000 and sweeping the Brass, Percussion, Ensemble Visual and General Effect caption awards.

The crowd included many alumni celebrating the corps� 50th anniversary at the Rose Bowl, practically in the Devils� backyard. 

�I�ve been involved since �74 and this is by far the biggest show, the biggest win, the biggest performance ever by the Blue Devils,� said corps director David Gibbs. �I don�t know if we can ever top this one. It�s very, very special. It�s been an incredible year.� Gibbs attributed the corps� end-of-season push to the members: �The kids are awesome. They are just tremendous performers, way past what I thought they could achieve. It�s amazing what they�ve done this year.�
