The Drum Corps International World Championships is the pinnacle of the annual DCI Tour, a series of more than 100 live competitive events that
take place across the United States from June through August. The DCI World Championships mark a week-long celebration of the "very best" in
the world of marching music. In 2012, more than 40 drum and bugle corps will compete in two classes for the Open and World Class World
Championship titles.
The 2012 Drum Corps International World Championships will kick off in Michigan City, Indiana, with the Open Class Prelims on August 6 and the Open Class Finals on August 7. The competitive action then heads to Lucas Oil Stadium in downtown Indianapolis where prelims, semifinals and finals events on August 9-11 will culminate with the crowning of the 2012 medalists. On Saturday morning the Celebrate Indy Arts/DCI World Championships Parade featuring all non-finalist Open and World Class corps will travel through downtown Indianapolis. 
In honor of the 40th Anniversary of DCI, a special "Grand Reunion" is planned for August 9-11, 2012. Everyone who has ever marched with, judged, taught or volunteered with a DCI competing corps from 1972-2012 is
invited to share the field once again at a VIP on-field ceremony Friday night honoring 40 years of DCI alumni and welcoming the age-out class of 2012 into the ranks of DCI alumni.
Special discounted ticket rates for the DCI World Championships are available for groups of 20 or more. DCI Championships provide band directors an excellent opportunity to motivate their students through the outstanding live performances that only DCI corps can deliver. Contact the DCI Group Experience Specialist at 317-275-1212 ext. 33 for details. The competing drum & bugle corps are typically independent, non-profit organizations that are not affiliated with a specific school. Corps draw their members from the regional, national and even international level with members ranging in age from 13 to 22. Most of the students have gained experience in their high school or college marching bands. Corps hold auditions in November and rehearse monthly during the winter to prepare for the summer tour. 2012 ScheduleDCI WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SEMIFINALS - Friday, August 10 Indianapolis, Indiana (Eastern Time Zone) 1:50 PM Welcome and Anthems 2:00 PM Cascades 2:17 PM Spartans 2:34 PM Mandarins 2:51 PM Vanguard Cadets 3:08 PM Blue Devils B 3:25 PM Jersey Surf 3:42 PM Oregon Crusaders 3:59 PM Troopers 4:16 PM Intermission (23 Minutes) 4:39 PM Colts 4:56 PM Pacific Crest 5:13 PM The Academy 5:30 PM Glassmen 5:47 PM Crossmen 6:04 PM Blue Stars 6:21 PM Spirit of Atlanta 6:38 PM Blue Knights 6:55 PM Madison Scouts 7:12 PM - Intermission (40 Minutes) 7:52 PM Boston Crusaders 8:09 PM The Cavaliers 8:26 PM Bluecoats 8:43 PM Santa Clara Vanguard 9:00 PM The Cadets 9:17 PM Phantom Regiment 9:34 PM Carolina Crown 9:51 PM Blue Devils Scholarship Presentations DCI Hall of Fame Recognition Volunteers of the Year Recognition Grand Reunion Celebration Age-Out Ceremony Special 40th Anniversary Presentation Last two scores announced Times approximate and subject to change. 2011 DCI Finals Results
