First time ever offered: Live webcasts from Allentown, PA

For the first time in history, the Drum Corps International Fan Network will webcast both nights of the 2014 DCI Eastern Classic, Friday, Aug. 1 and Saturday, Aug. 2 live from Allentown, Pennsylvania. Longtime home of the DCI Eastern Classic (formerly known simply as DCI East), historic J. Birney Crum Stadium is a 66-year-old venue in eastern Pennsylvania that has hosted DCI competitions since 1977. "With recent upgrades including a new Internet line run to the stadium's press box, this is the first time webcasting from J. Birney Crum Stadium has been a reality," DCI Executive Director Dan Acheson said. "As one of the older stadiums on the DCI Tour, we're not entirely sure that the delivery of this first-time webcast won't come with a few hiccups along the way, but we're excited to give it a go and let fans who can't make it to the stadium experience one of the most venerable annual event series of the summer. " Not previously scheduled, the two days of live webcasts will be an addition to all current Fan Network subscribers at no charge. Those wishing to check out either night of competition can also do so on a pay-per-view basis for $19.95 each day. DCI Eastern Classic J.
