#MarchOn
With the cancelation of the 2020 DCI Tour and 2021 serving as a “bridge” to Drum Corps International’s 50th anniversary 2022 season, DCI’s performing ensembles are in need of your assistance. A donation of any amount to the organizations of your choice will go a long way to ensure that we will #MarchOn for the benefit of some of the best and brightest young adults across the globe!
