1.0.2 Drum Corps International

The official organization devoted to organizing the junior drum and
bugle corps activity in North America is called Drum Corps International
(DCI). DCI and its Board of Directors plan the summer performance
schedules, coordinate judging, host regional competitions, and run the
DCI World Championships during the third week of August every summer.
It is roughly analogous to the NCAA for college athletics. DCI was
organized in 1972 as a reaction to the "harsh" way the VFW (Veterans of
Foreign War) and AL (American Legion) were governing the activity.

DCI publishes a quarterly newsletter called DCI Today. It is a must
for any drum corps fan. Tickets to any DCI Regional or the DCI Championships
can be ordered by calling the number listed below.
