DCI World Class 2027 is getting bigger.

The @dcimandarins are officially returning to the DCI Tour, while @golddrumcorps and The Battalion Drum & Bugle Corps have both been approved to move into DCI World Class beginning in 2027. Follow the latest from Drum Corps International at @dciphotos.

And in Pennsylvania, Mechanicsburg’s marching arts community gave us one of the best reminders of what this activity can be about. At the Oct. 3 USBands home show, 11 participating schools came together on the field for a mass performance of “God Bless America.”

Next up on our audition tour is a corps that is beginning their transition from Open class to World class, Gold, whose audition season starts in just over two months, on December 12th! This season, they'll be hosting multiple audition camps in Eastvale, with additional dates coming soon for color guard auditionees, plus video auditions available for each section for anyone who can't attend an in-person audition, especially for those outside of California. Their audition materials are available right now on their website, and there's no better time to start preparing than today! For more information about their or any other corps' audition materials, check out the 2027 Audition Information spreadsheet in our bio

Welcome to World Class. The Battalion and Gold move up from Open Class for the 2027 DCI season. The Battalion became the first Utah corps ever at the DCI World Championships and earned its first Open Class medal, bronze in 2025 and silver in 2026. Gold arrives with three Open Class silver medals in four seasons. Two programs that built their way to the top division, one season at a time. Congratulations to both corps.
