The Devils performing our winning set at BOSS [Boston Sings] on April 8th, 2016. We had an amazing weekend performing at BOSS, and felt so honored to be awarded Best Arrangement for “Blood I Bled” (Matt Goldstein and Hannah Tobias), Best Spoken Word (Michaela Coplen), Most Nuanced Performance (Hannah Tobias), and First Place!!!
The BOSS prompt this year was to create a set based on a classic grade-school subject, so we chose the subject of history and crafted a set about modern warfare and those it affects. The music and words of this set are incredibly important to us, and we hope you that they move you as they have moved us.

History counts its skeletons in round numbers
A thousand and three becomes a thousand
As if the three never existed
A trio left to sing their own lament
Left to sing with earth caught in their mouths
History draws its war accounts in black and white and red
And history only counts the dead
It forgets the ones who live
The ones who see in the mirror what they struggle to forgive
The ones who hide in solitude the fact that pieces of them didn’t make it back
The ones who ran, or hid, or fled, and died within themselves instead
- - -
At night the soldier wonders what she’s fighting for
Is this a just war, or just another war?
It’s never just a war anymore
- - -
The most dangerous part of modern warfare is that it makes itself invisible
That we can forget, because from here it feels like peace
Since it’s not our blood, not our city streets
My country, we all need to stand at attention
Remember that war is a human invention
It’s ours to unmake
- Michaela Coplen
