DCI

Ahh, DCI. A Marchers Dream.... For those of you who don't know what DCI is, I'm here to tell You =) DCI stands for Drum Corps International. But it isn't just drums my friend, no no no.....
A Regular DCI corps has Your trumpets, your baritones, mellophones, anything brass you name it. It also has a drum line, a field commander and a dance line/ colorgaurd. DCI is a group of select marching bands from as far as New Jersey to California that spend the whole summer practicing and competing in order to win the DCI world cup in August. The usual age of people in the band is 17-22. But some can start as early as age 13. Unfortunatly, NO WOODWINDS ALOUD =( My piccolo and I are very disappointed... This years winner was the Blue Devils! Congratulations! Every corps worked really hard and did a really great job. I saw a competition this summer, and i was completly blown away... I hope to be that good some day! =)
