Through the courtesy of the Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association, shuttle bus service is being provided between downtown Indianapolis and Indiana University's Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, the site of the 2008 Drum Corps International World Championships.



Although registration for the Indianapolis to Bloomington shuttle is now closed, fans will have the opportunity to enjoy complementary local Bloomington shuttle service once they arrive on the beautiful Indiana University campus.



Drum Corps fans arriving in Indianapolis without existing shuttle reservations are advised to make alternate transportation arrangements. While only a 50-mile jaunt from downtown Indy, fans are advised to allow extra time for their commute as traffic volume increases throughout the day.



For those driving to the show, please be aware of the latest construction updates:

  • The on and off ramps at Interstate 465 and State Rd. 37 are closed.

  • Traveling down to State Rd. 67 is the next most convenient route, and it adds approximately 15 minutes on to total travel time.

  • A secondary route would be exiting downtown Indianapolis via Harding St, as Harding St. becomes

    SR 37.
