You can volunteer with our friends at DCI at the upcoming 2011 Drum Corps International World Championships!

Please see this information below from DCI:

“We  hope that you might be interested in helping at this year’s big event; August 11th – 13th at Lucas Oil Stadium.

DCI’s updated registration system should make it easier than ever to find volunteer positions and availability needed. As an official volunteer, you’ll receive a uniform tee shirt, parking at Lucas Oil, food and beverage if shift allows, and access to watch the event!  You can peruse volunteer descriptions here:  www.dci.org/volunteer. Besides the competition, there are all sorts of accompanying areas and activities, from the Corps Warm Up Zone at Military Park, to the DCI Marketplace, the official Welcome/SuperFan Tent,  Event Kick Off Party at Union Station Grand Hall, a super-sized parade, and thousands of spectators! Indianapolis has hosted the World Championships for several years now; we want to assure the continuing success of this event in our city for many years to come so please consider joining the fun.

Celebrate Indy Arts! Parade
New to the 2011 Championships this year is the Celebrate Indy Arts! Parade. DCI has partnered with the local Arts Community to celebrate the local arts groups and marching music! Volunteers are needed to  assist the corps and arts organizations on the parade route. The parade is being staged by a professional parade producer, and they will provide all orientation the morning of the parade. The parade will kick off the 3rd day Finals of the Championships, the biggest ever, with corps from all over the country, plus Japan and the Netherlands! 

Save the date, Saturday August 13th, as the Celebrate Indy Arts! World Championships parade will march through downtown Indianapolis. Stepping off on the regular Indy parade route downtown, around 11:00 am, assist over 25 drum corps and various Indianapolis arts organizations, including Music for All, as they entertain the crowds, all leading to the Come Feel the Music Festival in anticipation of World Championship finals. All positions are listed at www.dci.org/volunteer.
