The Drum Corps International Hall of Fame is where the legends of the drum corps activity are remembered for the indelible impressions they have left on the activity.

The Hall of Fame began in 1985, with six inductees being enshrined that inaugural year. Every year since, new members have been inducted into this prestigious institution. Today, 87 people enjoy membership in the Hall of Fame.

New Hall of Fame members are elected by the DCI Board of Directors and Hall of Fame Members in the spring of each year.
