History
In 1971, at the urging of then-director of The Cavaliers, Don Warren, and Troopers director, Jim Jones, the directors from
Blue Stars, Madison Scouts, and Santa Clara Vanguard, partnered with each other to form what was called the "Midwest
Combine".[1] The Combine corps would market themselves to show promoters as a package.

This partnership was in reaction to perceived inflexibility of the American Legion and VFW, who were, at the time, the
primary sponsors of competing drum corps, and who were also responsible for hosting the two high-prestige national
championships.[2]:47 Another source of contention was low-to-nonexistent appearance fees paid for to corps. Only corps
who placed high at either of the national championships were paid any fees. Local show sponsors and promoters were also
less generous, many compensating the winners of each competition and no others.[2]:320

A group similar to the Combine had formed a year prior among corps based in the Northeast known as the "Alliance", or
officially the United Organization of Junior Corps (UOJC). The Alliance members were: 27th Lancers, Garfield Cadets,
Boston Crusaders, Blessed Sacrament Golden Knights, and Blue Rock.[1]

Despite acrimony from the veterans associations, the Combine and the Alliance remained intact for the 1970 and 1971
competitive seasons.[1] Following the 1971 VFW National Championships, the Alliance and Combine corps agreed to meet
at the next American Legion Uniformed Group Rules Congress to discuss forming a new, independent, governing
body.[2]:321 Also invited to the meeting were the Anaheim Kingsmen, Argonne Rebels, and De La Salle Oaklands. Drum
Corps International was founded by the thirteen corps on October 21, 1971.[a]

The inaugural DCI World Championship was hosted at Warhawks Stadium on the campus of University of Wisconsin–
Whitewater. In attendance were 39 corps from fifteen states and one Canadian province. The Anaheim Kingsmen was
crowned the first World Champions on August 18, 1972.[3]

The Combine evolved into Drum Corps Midwest (DCM), and the Alliance into Drum Corps East (sometimes called Drum
Corps Atlantic).[b] Both offered a regional circuit of competitions and regional championships prior to the "national tour"
of DCI-sanctioned competitions. DCI expanded the "national" tour so it began earlier in season, and participation
declined in non-DCI circuits, especially in DCM.
About
DCI is a 501(c)(3) organization governed by a board of directors, with an executive director responsible for day-to-day
operations.[4][5] The board of directors is composed of three representatives who are directors of member corps, and
three at-large members who are not affiliated with any corps.[6] The current chair of the board of directors is Kathy Black,
and the current Executive Director is Dan Acheson.[7][8]

Drum Corps Associates (DCA), a governing body for all-age or senior drum corps, and DCI are not affiliated, however the
two organizations are strategic partners.[9] Of note, DCI describes all-age corps as providing value to the drum corps
activity, and permits all age corps to compete at sanctioned competitions.[10]

Mission
As the self-styled "Marching Music's Major League", DCI's mission is to create an environment for participating corps "to
engage in education, competition, entertainment, and the promotion of individual growth." The organization also
emphasizes positive life-transforming experiences for all participants.[11]

Membership
To become a DCI member, or to maintain membership, a corps must pass an
evaluation by the board of directors. The evaluation requires corps to submit
data on their financial health, fund raising capacity and income, participants,
staffing, and explanations of their administrative structure. All corps are
required to be 501(c)(3) organizations.

Once approved by the board, a new corps must achieve certain competitive
requirements, such as attending World Championships. The corps must then
be approved by a majority of other members at a meeting following World
Championships, usually the annual rules congress later in the year.[11]

All-age corps are ineligible for membership, but they may be qualify as a The Cavaliers, a DCI World Class
member corps and seven-time World
"touring" corps during a competitive season.[10] International corps, or corps
Champion.
based outside the United States and Canada, are also ineligible for
membership. However, an international corps that adopts DCI's regulations,
specifically instrumentation and participant age limits, may also qualify as a touring corps in either Open or World Class.

Age limit
DCI limits the age of participants to "21 years of age and younger." A participant who is 22 years before June 1 would be
unable to compete.[12] Some European and Asian drum corps associations have no age limit. Corps from those
associations are allowed to compete at sanctioned competitions, and at World Championships in International Class.

Corps are allowed to set their own age limit to be younger than 21 years, such as Shadow, from Oregon, Wisconsin.
Shadow limits its participants to high school students (18 years and younger).[13]
Marketing and broadcasts
Individual drum corps derive a large part of their revenues from marketing their product, specifically memorabilia and
souvenir sales. DCI derives income from ticket sales, and is the sole distributor of official media, such as championship
DVDs and audio CDs. DCI is also the exclusive producer of all broadcasts of sanctioned competitions, including online
streaming.

Edited versions of World Championship Open Class finals were televised by PBS from 1975 until 2005.[14][c] In 2006 and
2007, a two-hour highlights program of was broadcast by ESPN2, and then ESPN.

Since 2004, World Championship World Class prelims have been broadcast to movie theaters by Fathom Events under
the title Big, Loud & Live.[15][d] In 2011, Fathom Events added the DCI Tour Premiere. DCI previously livestreamed a
number of competitions throughout the season, including the entirety of World Championship, via the former
"FanNetwork".[16] FloSports engaged in a multi-year agreement to livestream select competitions via the FloMarching (ht
tp://flomarching.com) platform.[17]

Frequent hosts of the broadcasts and streaming events have been former WWAY news anchor Steve Rondinaro, and
percussionist Dennis DeLucia.[18]

Other programs
In 2013, DCI launched two new competitive musical activities for small groups: SoundSport and DrumLine Battle. These
activities are not restricted by an age limit, nor do they have the same competitive requirements as drum corps.
BANDtastic! began in 2014.

SoundSport

The stated goal of SoundSport is to provide a competitive performance experience in a low-cost, local setting. Musical
ensembles of more than five members, using any musical instruments, perform a 5-7 minute marching music show in an
area measuring 30 yards (27 m) × 20 yards (18 m).[19]

Two SoundSport teams Guardians and Watchmen became an Open Class corps in the 2014.[20] Southwind, inactive from
2007 to 2013, competed as a SoundSport team in 2014, and returned to competition an Open Class corps in 2015.[21]

DrumLine Battle

Intended for drumlines, or battery percussion ensembles with no wheeled percussion. Competing drumlines are staged in
two competitive zones opposite each other, with each demonstrating their skills as an ensemble in alternating rounds of
two minutes each. Adjudicators do not restrict their evaluation to technical proficiency, and include showmanship and
audience reaction.[22]

In 2014, E-Sarn from Thailand, competed in the DrumLine Battle held during World Championship week, defeating
fifteen other competitors.[23] River City Rhythm, from Anoka, Minnesota, also competed in 2014, becoming a touring
corps in 2015.[21]

BANDtastic!
BANDtastic is a program of middle school honor bands sponsored by DCI.[24] The program originated in 2013 with the
Indiana "INpact" honor band, organized in conjunction with World Championships.[25] Similar groups have since been
organized in Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, Florida, and most recently Minnesota.[26][24]

The activities are held in conjunction with a local DCI competition, and World Class corps partner.[27]

Active corps

Classification and adjudication

DCI utilizes a single adjudication handbook with corps subdivided by size, and not skill level. A multi-tier classification
and adjudication system was in use prior to 2008, with Division I and Division II / III utilizing different handbooks, while
also being subdivided by size.

Current classes
Currently, DCI groups corps from the US and Canada into two classes based
on competitive level. Corps from Europe, Asia, Latin America, and anywhere
other than the US and Canada are grouped into the International Class. Corps
from all classes compete together but are ranked separately. In the past,
classes have been fully or partially determined by the number of marching
members in each corps; at present, all corps may march up to a maximum of
one hundred fifty four (154) members.

World Class (formerly Division I) corps are the groups that have chosen to
compete at the highest level and have proven to DCI leadership they have the The Madison Scouts, a DCI World
Class corps and two-time World
ability to survive at this level both competitively and financially. The higher a
Champion
corps is ranked at the DCI Championships, the higher the performance fees
they will earn for the following season's performances.

Open Class (formerly Divisions II & III) corps are committed to a lesser competitive level and are generally smaller,
although several corps have marched with maximum membership. In September 2007, DCI combined the former
Divisions II and III into this new division.[28][29]

International Class is for corps based outside the US and Canada who wish to compete at sanctioned competitions.
Corps in this class are allowed to follow the guidelines of their national governing body, such as no age restrictions, and
the use of woodwind instruments. International corps which abide by DCI rules would be eligible to compete as Open
Class corps.

Limits

Source: 

Open Class (1972–92) had a membership limit of 128.

Class A generally had 90 members or fewer although the limit was 128.
All-Girl Class was restricted to girls only: there was no equivalent all-boy class; the membership limit was 128.
Class A60, and the later Division III, had a maximum of 60 members; a minimum of 30 members was added later.
Division II had the same membership limit as Division I, but a generally lower level of competitive expertise.[30]
Prior to 2003, Division I was increased from 128 to 135.
World Class, the current Open Class, and International Class all had a membership limit of 150 from 2007 through
2017.[31]
In 2018, the membership limit was increased to 154.[32]

Adjudication
DCI's Adjudication Manual is based on three broad categories, Visual, Music and Effect.[33] Visual and Music categories
are further subdivided into three analysis captions. If more than one adjudicator is utilized in any caption, their scores are
averaged before being factored.

Category Caption + Caption + Caption = Points

Music Analysis (20) / 2 + Brass (20) / 2 + Percussion (20) / 2 = 30.00

Visual Analysis (20) / 2 + Proficiency (20) / 2 + Color Guard (20) / 2 = 30.00

Effect — General Effect 1 (20) + General Effect 2 (20) = 40.00

Sub-Total : 100.00

Timing & Penalties : - 0.00

TOTAL : 100.00

All-age corps may request to be adjudicated using scoring sheets provided by DCA. Many All-age corps may compete
exclusively at DCI sanctioned competitions prior to attending DCA World Championships, which is traditionally hosted
Labor Day weekend.

World Championships
DCI World Championships were historically held the third week of August. However, the second week of August has been
the preferred date due to changes in academic schedules.[e]

The week-long championship have been hosted at college or professional sports arenas in eighteen U.S cities and
Montreal. Since 2009, World Class Championships have been hosted at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. On
August 6, 2015, it was announced that the World Championships would remain in Indianapolis through 2028.[34]

In 2009 and 2010, the Open Class preliminary competition was held at Ames Field in Michigan City, Indiana with
Semifinals and Finals moving to Lucas Oil Stadium. In 2011, the entire Open Class competition moved to Ames Field,
where it remained through 2018. In 2019, Open Class will relocate to the new (opened 2018) Wildcat Stadium at Indiana
Wesleyan University in Marion, Indiana.[35]

DrumLine Battle and SoundSport were added to the week's activities in 2014.

Individual & Ensemble

The Individual & Ensemble (I&E) festival is also hosted near the championship site. Participants from all member corps
are eligible to compete demonstrating their ability on their preferred instrument, or as part of a small ensemble or
instrument choir. Color guard and dance categories are also available.

In the 2005, I&E was expanded to include woodwind and vocal categories.
