Drum Corps International’s corporate headquarters in Indianapolis will be closed for business Monday, Jan. 6 and Tuesday, Jan. 7 due to severe winter weather.
After up to 13 inches of snowfall on Sunday and sub-zero temperatures, Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard declared a red-level “travel emergency” for the Indianapolis area on Monday.
Online ticket and merchandise ordering through DCI.org will remain active during the office closure, with phone order and customer service lines expected to re-open Wednesday, Jan. 8.
In addition to the Blue Stars, performances by the Bluecoats, Boston Crusaders, Carolina Crown, Colts, Jersey Surf, Phantom Regiment, Spirit of Atlanta, Cadets, Cavaliers, Blue Saints, Music City, Legends, Racine Scouts and Govenaires will help to kick the hometown corps’ anniversary celebration into high gear. The event will also feature a very special performance by the Blue Stars 50th Anniversary Alumni Corps which is being put together for the organization’s milestone year. Tickets for DCI La Crosse will go on sale beginning Monday, Feb. 17 through the Drum Corps International Box Office. Learn more about purchasing tickets to the DCI La Crosse event. Also added to the 2014 DCI Tour schedule will be an event Friday, July 11 in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. A venue still to be determined will play host to a lineup of eight corps including the Blue Devils, Bluecoats, Boston Crusaders, Colts, Jersey Surf, Legends, Blue Saints and Minneapolis’ own Minnesota Brass. “While we have every intention of returning to TCF Bank Stadium in 2015, we’re well on our way taking steps to ensure these new 2014 events are spectacular in their own right,” Kuehnhold said.
