In addition to MarchingMusicDownloads.com, audio is also available via Apple iTunes (Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, Volume 4) and Amazon (Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, Volume 4).
While a large selection of video performances from across the 2022 DCI Tour are currently available for streaming via FloMarching.com, DCI’s newly-released audio offerings will be the only downloadable multimedia made available from the summer of 2022.
With decreasing demand for audio/visual products over many years and with the significantly increased production and licensing costs compared to their audio counterparts, offering video downloads proved to be an impractical challenge at this time.
