    It still amazes me that everything attached the Smithsonian is free of charge. The Cairo museum is only $7 US. And yet...the Chattanooga Aquarium is $45 per person O_O

    Yeah, people who live here take it for granted until we go out of town and pay up to $60 to visit an art gallery. I was born in the heart of the city, I've never known anything but Free Museums, Art gallery's and zoo.

    Check out the subway (Metro) for getting around. The Mall station puts you right in the middle of... well the Mall and can walk to Smithsonian buildings and DC sights. Did training in the area years back and found it lot easier and cheaper to park in Northern VA near the class and ride in. Biggest problem problem was panhandlers at some stations and no idea of the current situation 

    Or you can stay in Rockville, Md or Gaithersburg, Md were hotels are cheaper then take the Red line right into the heart of the city. If you have questions. I'm a native Washingtonian.

  3. Coronavirus update: March 12, 2020

    Drum Corps International is continuing to monitor the impact of COVID-19 across the country. Specifically, we are following the quickly evolving developments at all levels as well as the ongoing determinations by local and national public health officials. We are also receiving tremendous assistance from our extended network of career healthcare professionals working through the Marching Music Health, Wellness & Safety Project.

    Our top priority remains the health and safety of everyone in the DCI community.

    DCI will continue to adhere to all national directives and incorporate the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, public health authorities, and physicians to ensure the safety of our performers, staff, volunteers, partners, audience members, and everyone associated with DCI’s nationwide operational structure.

    With so many schools and events affected at this point, we understand that many in the DCI community are concerned about the 2020 Summer Tour, which begins three months from now. While there have already been some disruptions to rehearsal camps for the individual corps this month depending on their geographic locations, there will likely be more impact on spring activities. However, at this point, we are continuing to plan for a 2020 DCI Summer Tour.

    We share in the disappointment of all those at WGI-Sport of the Arts on the decision to cancel the 2020 WGI World Championships and other scheduled events. We understand that the decision was extremely difficult, and we salute the thousands of passionate performers, instructors, and administrators around the world who devote their winter months to elevating their standards of excellence.

    As the situation unfolds over the coming days and weeks, we will continue to work with corps administrators, tour event partners, stadium managers, and hundreds of housing site hosts from coast to coast to assess all available information and make necessary adjustments.

    We will continue to provide updates at DCI.org and through our social media chain

    Cadets announce MetLife Stadium for this stellar show.  Love it.  

    Too Bad, Washington DC has an awesome brand new soccer stadium.  https://audifielddc.com/ It's a day after the Annapolis show so the Cadets wouldn't have to travel. Plus it's almost half of what Cadets pay for MetLife. And, The stadium is free on July 29th. Also, all buses and trucks can park at Fort McNair across the street and warm up on the National Defense University  grown
