Drum Corps International 2018 Yearbook

BO14019 DCI 2018 Program Ad.qxp_Layout 1 5/15/18 11:29 AM Page 1 Drum Corps Depend on Yamaha From Camp Randall to Lucas Oil, from the Rose Bowl to the Citrus Bowl, it’s no wonder that Yamaha is the most trusted name in the marching arts activity. Since 1984, drum and bugle corps using Yamaha have won an unmatched number of DCI titles, High Percussion awards and High Brass awards. This season, nearly 50% of all corps have a Yamaha instrument on the field. They know that if members can rely on their instrument, they only need to focus on the performance. Whether it be a brass or percussion instrument, a drum set or electronic keyboard, a speaker or mixer, a golf car or generator, more drum and bugle corps depend on Yamaha products than any other brand.
