Meet your 2025 Blue Thunder Drumline!

Seahawks Blue Thunder is the heartbeat of the fans. This high-energy entertainment drumline was established in 2004 at Lumen Field, performing throughout the stadium before, during and after games.

Not your typical drumline, Blue Thunder uses a variety of rhythms and visuals, incorporating rock and roll drumming alongside drum corps style, endearing them to Seahawks fans of all ages. Blue Thunder is also available for parades, parties and corporate event appearances.
