The marching music community is loaded with a wide range of talents and creativity. Now is your chance to show it off for a chance to win one of a number of fantastic prizes!

Drum Corps International is teaming up with Xylo, a great new app for making music videos, to offer you the chance to win incredible prizes, including tickets to the 2017 DCI World Championship Finals, DCI World Championship videos, and more!

Music Video Contest Guidelines

Create a short (20 second) video using the Xylo app, showing off your talent and creativity. Go solo or create something together with friends—It’s up to you. Submit as many videos as you want. The more mixes you submit, the better your chances of winning!

Don’t worry about being technically the best (this isn’t what you’re judged on). Just make your video, unique, fun, and interesting to make sure your video stands out and gets shared.

So show us what you’ve got! Think outside the box and most importantly have fun!
