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.
