Drum Corps International Marches into Madison Once Again
Madison, WI - In August 2006, Madison will march to the beat of what is becoming some very familiar drummers. Drum Corp International (DCI), the worldwide youth drum and bugle corps organization, will return to Madison for the 2006 Summer Music Games World Championship on August 8-12, 2006.
An expected 25,000 people will gather in Madison for this exciting competition that will be held at Camp Randall Stadium. The four-day event is estimated to create $3.3 million in direct spending for the Madison area.
“We are so thrilled to again have this exciting event in our community. The Madison area has benefited greatly from DCI and we look forward to continuing our long-standing partnership with them,” said Deb Archer, President & CEO of the Greater Madison Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB).
The 2006 event marks the sixth return to Madison for DCI. Championships were held in Madison in 1985, 1986, 1987, as well as 1992 for DCI’s 20th anniversary and 2002 for DCI’s 30th anniversary.
