A division I corps may have as many as 128 marching members and a Division III corps as few as 20 but no more than 60. Beginning in mid-June, the SUMMER MUSIC GAMES competitions are divided into three regions; the DCI Atlantic, Drum Corps Midwest, and DCI Pacific regions.

In 1997, the Individual and Ensemble competition featured a record breaking 617 participants. Often sacrificing valuable recreational time throughout the SUMMER MUSIC GAMES tour, these corps members who choose to participate in the Individual and Ensemble competitions spend countless hours in addition to regular corps rehearsals preparing themselves for this event. They are judged in any one of 16 brass, percussion or visual categories while showing their creativity and sense of humor by \"hamming it up\" with added visuals and storylines. 69

DCI's 25th Anniversary was in ful1 swing at Orlando's Citrus Bowl Stadium on Tuesdarnigh , r\\11gust with the Division II/III Finals com etition. Of the forty-five Division II & III corps, 12 corps advanced from prelims; five from Division II and seven from Division III. The quest for a finalist spot was especially intense in Division III. While St. John's made the cut, Golden Lancers just missed a finalist position by two-tenths of a point, Delta Brigade by three-tenths and Lone Star by four-tenths. When it was all over, Mandarins won their fifth Division III title after moving up from second place in Prelims and the Spartans retained their first place lead taking the Division II World Championship title. The five highest scoring corps from the Division II/III Finals, regardless of Division, then advanced to Thursday's Division I Quarter-finals. They were Mandarins, East Coast Jazz, Spartans, Patriots and Blue Stars.

As Madison entertained in Future World, the rest of the corps circled Epcot's World Showcase. Cadets played their version of Disney's Electrical Parade while other corps performed various marches and selections from their field show. Later that evening, the Blue Devils kicked off the annual Showcase of Champions with selections from their Casablanca production before introducing several spectacular performances by winning soloists and ensembles from the I&E competitions earlier that morning.

Some 25 years later, it seemed almost unreal that DCI's 25th Anniversary was upon us in 1997. After weeks of intense competitions along the SUMMER MUSIC GAMES Tour, celebrations of Drum Corps International's 25th Anniversary highlighted the week-long Championships event in Orlando, Florida. But it was competition that brought a dramatic end to the 1997 season. Who would be the 1997 Division I Champion? Blue Devils had to be considered a contender, but so were Cadets of Bergen County. And as they met throughout the season, they traded places by tenths and occasionally tied. And who really expected Santa Clara Vanguard to be the threat they turned out to be? Starting the season 9.5 points behind the Concord crew, they steadily closed the gap and tied for frrst place in quarter-fmals. In the end, the Blue Devils would capture their ninth DCI World Championship Title bringing to a close what many had expressed as an incredible experience.
