DCI World Champions Crowned in Indy

The Drum Corps International (DCI) World Championship Finals are taking place at Lucas Oil Stadium, but that's not all. Just outside the stadium, a food festival called SoundSport International Music and Food Festival is happening from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“We're super excited to have our world championships here at Lucas Oil Stadium tonight, but before that we have the International Music and Food Festival going on free to the public to come check out,” Nathan Boudreaux, CEO of DCI, said.

Boudreaux explained how big of a day it is for all performers. “For our performers, this is the Super Bowl for marching music. DCI is marching music's major league, and tonight they'll be the top 12 ensembles in the world performing,” Boudreaux said.

“We're based here in Indianapolis, but we have a chorus from all over the country. We have a great relationship with Visit Indy and the stadium here, and we've got tons of fans in town. We're hoping to get 23,000 tonight, so a lot of stuff going on for sure,” Boudreaux said.
