Friends of DCI

Encourage and experience achievement at a higher level

Friends of DCI Logo

Friends of DCI help to guarantee that future generations of young, world-class performers enjoy the opportunity to achieve their ultimate performances on the greatest stage in marching music, and you’ll be there to enjoy every heart-pounding minute from the best seats in the house at the DCI World Championships. Plus, you’ll get exclusive access to "Friends-only" box office presales for dozens of select DCI Tour events!

As a Friend of DCI, you’ll enjoy exclusive, donors-only benefits in and around the summer drum corps season. You will belong to an "inner circle" of our most committed fans who wish to encourage - and enjoy - "Achievement at a Higher Level" today and for years to come.


What are some of those benefits?

Exclusive seating section: Based on the donation level, Friends of DCI are able to purchase three-day DCI World Championship ticket packages in the exclusive "Friends of DCI Zone" of seats at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. It’s a section of seats in the most prime section of the stadium right in the heart of all the action on the field.

Lucas Oil Stadium Friends of DCI
 
Priority entry: Friends of DCI receive a special ID card that grants you and your guests access to a priority entrance at Lucas Oil Stadium for all three days of events at the DCI World Championships.
 
Other perks: Friends of DCI who register over the next week will have early access to book within DCI's special blocks of Indianapolis hotel rooms for the 2025 DCI World Championships before the general public.
 


Become a "Friend of DCI," and share your commitment with future generations of outstanding young performers.
