The 2024 Drum Corps International Tour reached its peak August 5-10, with a week-long celebration of the very best in marching music at the DCI World Championships in Indiana.

From the start of Open Class World Championship events Monday in Marion, to the historic inaugural DCI All-Age Championship Saturday morning, to the Bluecoats taking home their second-ever gold medal Saturday night at Lucas Oil Stadium, "Finals Week" was full of memorable moments to close out the 2024 DCI Tour on a high note.
