Help Us Win the 2019 DCI Giving Challenge
Drum Corps International is kicking off the exciting 2019 DCI Giving Challenge TODAY! It will take place from Saturday, July 27, the day of DCI Southeastern Championship to Friday, August 2, the first day of the DCI Eastern Classic. The winner will be announced Saturday, August 3.
The DCI Giving Challenge sheds light on the individual fundraising efforts of all participating DCI ensembles in World Class, Open Class and SoundSport in one effort. The Cavaliers are proud to be participating in this effort yet again.
A “winner” from each division will be announced on the FloMarching live stream during the second night of the DCI Eastern Classic broadcast from Allentown's historic J. Birney Crum Stadium. However, everyone “wins" by creating a focused campaign designed to amplify our individual efforts.
