The Drum Corps International World Championships is the pinnacle of the annual DCI Tour, a series of more than 100 live competitive events that
take place across the United States from June through August. The DCI World Championships mark a week-long celebration of the "very best" in
the world of marching music. In 2011, more than 40 drum and bugle corps will compete in two classes for the Open and World Class World
Championship titles. Participating units will represent more than 20 states, Canada, Japan and The Netherlands.

The competing drum & bugle corps are typically independent, non-profit organizations that are not affiliated with a specific school. Corps draw their members
from the regional, national and even international level with members ranging in age from 13 to 22. Most of the students have gained experience
in their high school or college marching bands. Corps hold auditions in November and rehearse monthly during the winter to prepare for the summer tour.
The 2011 Drum Corps International World Championships will kick off in Michigan City, Indiana, with the Open Class Prelims on August 8 and the Open Class Finals on August 9.
The competitive action then heads to Lucas Oil Stadium in downtown Indianapolis where prelims, semifinals and finals events on August 11-13 will culminate with the crowning of the 2011 medalists.
New for 2011, all Open and International Class corps are invited to participate with the World Class groups in the World Championship Prelims on August 11.
Plus, in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the DCI World Championships, a parade will travel through downtown Indianapolis on Finals morning featuring all non-finalist Open and World Class corps.
Special discounted ticket rates are available for groups of 20 or more. DCI Championships provide band directors an excellent opportunity to motivate their students
through the outstanding live performances that only DCI corps can deliver. Contact the DCI Group Experience Specialist at 317-275-1212 ext. 33 for details.
