To provide music and movement education in cooperation  with school music education programs. This education enhances the  student's overall musical education by building self-esteem,  self-confidence, and self- reliance. Life and social skills mature  through leadership training, commitment to work ethic, and teamwork. The  student's civic pride is developed through recognition and  involvement in their community.

We are dedicated to: 

• The pursuit of excellence through music and movement education 
• Development of character by building life and social skills 
• Building a sense of belonging through commitment to the organization 
• Building pride in achievement through accomplishments 

Our vision is to become the premier youth performance  arts program in the Greater city of Sudbury. Our plan is to develop to  the fullest extent possible enabling students a vehicle in which to  study their art and grow socially.

Our team approach to learn music encompasses  commitment, pride, and discipline. We promote the dignity of each  individual member. The basic goal is working together to achieve  excellence and creating an enjoyable and inspiring experience for all  members.

To provide a permanent community-sponsored educational service for the youth of Sudbury to learn and perform music

To provide a community-sponsored outlet for the  expansion and development of the art of music by providing programs that  are easily accessible, affordable and of equal opportunity to all  youths regardless of economic, gender, physically challenge or other  diversity considerations.

To serve the citizens of Greater Sudbury by providing  music suitable for many community activities that from time to time  require marching-musical exhibitions, such as:

• Open air park concerts 
• Band concerts in homes for the elderly 
• Performances at other not for profit and charity fund raising events 
• Parades in support of recognizing community organizations 
• The provision of Band Music at important civic functions 

In the early 1952  students from the Sudbury Mining and Technical School (Sheridan Tech)  would grab drums, horns, and whatever else would make a lot of noise,  and loudly cheer on their school football team, the Blue Devils. What  they lacked in musical ability, and they did lack musical ability, they  replaced with school spirit.

The late Maurice  Gravelle, the school's music professor, decided to organize the Sudbury  Mining and Technical School Band from the ranks of the noisemakers. Most  agree it was because Mr. Gravelle had too much respect for music to  listen to the noise they created.

Mr. Gravelle's school  associate and successor, the late George Netzke, continued the process  of developing musical ability. However, he also brought military  discipline into the mix, for Mr. Netzke was quite involved and well  known within the Canadian Militia. He brought them from school band to  Canadian Drum Corps. In 1958, their name became the Blue Saints (to  compliment the school team, the Blue Devils).

Since their inception  into the world of Drum Corps, they have flourished and made their  school, and city, proud. From numerous competitions,13 Canadian National Championships to taking part in  the Calgary Stampede and the Quebec Winter Carnival where they were  praised back home. They have also come to represent the  histories of two other drum corps, the Nickel City Sound and the  Imperial Knights. Both corps have folded and entered the rich history of  the Big Blue.
