2021 DCI Celebration Events Fan Cut Outs

What to Wear

• Drum corps attire and / or drum corps colors are encouraged.
• Make sure your clothing and the background are contrasting colors.
• Wearing a hat too low will cast a shadow on your eyes and conceal your face.
• If you wear a hat, make sure there is a good light source in front of our face.
• If you wear glasses, try tilting/angling your face to avoid glare on your glasses. Avoid using the flash.
• Drum Corps International will not be obligated to provide the purchaser a refund if a submitted photo is rejected for any reason. All sales are final – no refunds.
• Please note: Drum Corps International reserves the right to refuse any photos.

Background

• For best results use a solid-color background. Use a sheet or blanket if you don’t have a blank wall that will work.
• Good front lighting works best. Avoid standing with your back to a window or door.
• Keep personal or private information off of the walls or objects behind you. We are unable to remove backgrounds from photos.

Taking the Photo

• Have someone else take your picture. Selfies are not recommended.
• Aim from the waist up and keep your arms to your sides.
• Stand 3 – 4 feet away from the camera/phone, and have the photo taken at your eye level. Photos taken by smartphones are perfectly fine. When submitting the photo, make sure it is the largest possible size. Don’t compress the file.
• Include some space around your head and shoulders so that your body is not chopped off.
• Photo should be taken vertically or portrait.
• Only one person in the photo.
• Smile!
