Perform at a DCI Tour Event

Drum Corps International is pleased to offer three performance opportunities to ensembles from around the world. Enter the spotlight of Marching Music’s Major League^TM as you take the stage as part of DrumLine Battle, SoundSport or DCI’s International Class division!

DrumLine Battle^TM puts your percussionists in the spotlight: in thrilling head-to-head matches featuring their best two minutes of drumming, stick tricks, exciting visuals, acrobatic stunts, high adrenaline movement and a whole lot of attitude! Rules are simple and the focus is on showmanship and getting the crowd to “give it up” for your performance. It’s “fast paced and in-your-face” in a fun format which showcases the talent and creativity of your students. Impress our three judges while winning over the audience and your percussion ensemble might just be crowned DrumLine Battle Champion!

SoundSport® gives your band members the opportunity to shine at the same event as touring DCI corps! Encourage your students to let their imaginations soar as you guide them in preparing a 5 to 7 minute non-adjudicated performance with a special focus on entertaining the audience. Choose an adjudicated performance and three judges will evaluate music, visual and overall impression on a stage that measures 30 yards wide by 20 yards deep. All instruments and ages are permitted so you can even create an all-star ensemble featuring your students along with instructors, parents and alumni in this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

International Class provides performance opportunities to ensembles outside of the United States to share the spotlight during the DCI World Championships. With several tour options and a grand stage to share, Drum Corps International’s International Class creates life-long memories with our friends from around the world.
