Since 1988, Drum Corps International and the Friends of DCI have been honoring faithful volunteers of the drum corps activity. Accumulating thousands of unpaid hours of hard work, these individuals help make every season possible for more than 5,000 young performers each year.
This Monday marked the beginning of National Volunteer Week. During this special week of appreciation for people who give their time and effort to help organizations across the country, Drum Corps International announces the recipients of the 2008 Volunteer of the Year Awards.
Chosen from a panelist of current Friends of DCI members, the volunteer nominations were submitted by drum corps staff members and directors.
2008 Volunteers of the Year:
- Thelma Fung (Blue Knights)
- Marie Limpel (Pioneer)
- Greg Lowe (Carolina Crown)
