The DCI Performers Showcase presented by System Blue will return to downtown Indianapolis on Wednesday, August 10, with individuals and ensembles displaying their talent to family, friends and the drum corps community.
The annual World Championships Week competition will occur outdoors on Georgia Street and inside the Indianapolis Artsgarden from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event is free, open to the public and is predicted to be bigger than ever before.
“The Performers Showcase is the best way to experience the talent of our DCI members close-up,” event manager Christina Mavroudis said. “To see the faces under the shakos and the creativity behind the members.”
The 2015 showcase entertained crowds with performances from more than 500 members from World and Open Class corps.
Opportunities are endless as the event offers corps members the chance to show off their talents within categories, such as woodwind and vocal, that are not found in a typical drum corps performance.
Mavroudis said her favorite part of the event is seeing the originality from the participants.
“The creativity is off the charts: juggling hip-hop, ukulele stand-up, martial arts dance, and even percussive cups,” Mavroudis said. “I’ve seen a perfect dance, the glimpse of greatness in a vocal, and enjoyed the comedic routines of bass drum lines all for the love of opportunity, experience, and sheer performance.”
