1.0.1 DCI and DCA
There are many organizations devoted to promoting and organizing the
drum and bugles corps activity world-wide. Many of these are listed below
in section 1.2. But the two major organizations in North America are DCI
(Drum Corps International) and DCA (Drum Corps Associates).
DCI supervises the major junior drum and bugle corps circuit in North
America. Junior drum and bugle corps are restricted to members 21 years of
age or younger. Most drum and bugle corps in fall into this general catagory.
DCI corps march in the DCI circuit during the months of July and August every
year. The DCI season culminates with the DCI World Championships.
DCA differs from DCI in a number of respects. DCA corps are often
called Senior corps and are open to people of any age. DCA runs its own
circuit, too which culminates in the DCA Championships over Labor Day
weekend each year. In this FAQ, the information on DCA corps has been
grouped together in Section 6. The DCA information is maintained and
updated by Martin Cross (crossm@pt.Cyanamid.Com).
