I'm a little behind the curve on this one, but I was surprised to see the Devils leaving Dynasty and heading to Pearl for their percussion needs.

The Blue Devils have won a total of 13 DCI World Championships and 11 High Percussion Awards, and are the 2009 DCI World Champions and High Percussion Award recipients. As a perennial powerhouse in DCI, The Blue Devils have finished in DCI’s top 5 for the last 28 consecutive years.

Also joining Pearl’s roster of world-renowned artists and educators is The Blue Devils Percussion Director, Scott Johnson. Johnson is one of the most sought after percussion arrangers and marching percussion clinicians in the world today, with personal awards including 13 DCI championships, 12 DCI High Percussion Awards, 2 WGI Championships and the 1977 DCI Individual Snare Championship. The addition of both the Blue Devils and Scott Johnson fortifies an already impressive DCI roster that includes the Santa Clara Vanguard, Boston Crusaders, Blue Stars, Blue Knights, The Troopers and Spirit.

Interesting switch. I haven't dug up any dirt about why they Devs have changed but I'll keep my eyes peeled.
