Made possible through the support of the DCI Hall of Fame, this is the third consecutive year that DCI’s drum majors have been brought together for this multi-day workshop. According to Donahue, meeting during the off-season gives these corps members a unique perspective outside of the competitive lines of the summer season. “The seminar has shown me the people behind the uniforms I see all summer. Getting to know these people—the ambassadors for their corps—I find it impossible not to respect each corps and their unique history and culture,” he said. “We become a very close group, and bond in the same manner as you would with your fellow corps members,” Wojdula said. “I am very excited to meet all the new incoming drum majors for the season and bring them into the ‘family.'” Watch a video recapping the 2011 drum major seminar in Indianapolis.
