The Blue Stars Drum and Bugle Corps is a World Class (formerly Division I) drum and bugle corps based in La Crosse, Wisconsin and founded in 1964. The corps was one of the original members of the "Combine" (along with the Troopers, the Cavaliers, the Scouts, and the Vanguard), which was the precursor to Drum Corps International. The Blue Stars were one of the most successful DCI open class corps in the 1970s, placing second at the inaugural DCI Championships in 1972. After reorganization in the early 1980s, the corps became one of the most consistent corps in Division II/III (now Open Class) history, never placing lower than 5th from 1987 to 2005, and winning Division III titles in 1989, 1993, 2001, and 2003. The 2006 season marked the Blue Stars' return to Division I (now World Class) competition.
