  • Drum Corps International and the Cavaliers
    TOUR HOUSING Drum Corps International and The Cavaliers Drum Corps International (DCI) is a non-profit organization that offers a competitive circuit for independent non-profit youth performing arts organizations from around the world. These ensembles, known as drum and bugle corps, attract members from across the country and around the world and make up what is widely recognized as Marching Music’s Major League ™. The average age of membership in these ensembles is approximately 20 years old. The nature of their performances is similar to a college marching band format but they do not perform at sporting events. Programs are more sophisticated, with much more time and expertise given to perfecting shows that are as athletic as they are artistic. DCI competitions attract tens of thousands of people in live audience settings and live feed cinema viewings every year. The members of corps such as The Cavaliers spend the entire summer touring the United States, Canada and in some cases overseas. Each member pays dues for this experience, which are used to hire staff and cover food and travel expenses. Staff members range from professional educators to Broadway designers and are significant contributors to the educational experience the members receive. Corps raise additional funds through private industry and municipalities to meet the immense cost of travel. Corps members routinely sleep on buses and in school gymnasiums while on the road. On rare occasions, they enjoy the luxury of dorm room accommodations. The drum corps activity is a national treasure that can only exist because of partnerships with sponsoring schools who furnish rehearsal and housing facilities.

  • Gail Schultz International Fellowship Information, Instructions and Application for 2022
    Gail Schultz International Fellowship Information, Instructions and Application for 2022 Over the course of five-decades, Gail Schultz served as a hard-working friend, enthusiastic supporter and graceful ambassador—not only of The Blue Devils, but for the entire drum corps community. Her deep passion for global stewardship and international participation became renowned and respected worldwide, and her generosity and kindness has had a positive impact on countless lives both near and far. Gail’s involvement with The Blue Devils began in 1971, when her daughter Christine joined the Twirlers and her son Steven joined the Jr. Drum & Bell Corps. Before long, Gail was managing multiple Blue Devil programs and serving on the board of directors—including multiple terms as its president. Having chaired the Precision West drum corps competition for a decade, she then helped establish the DCI West competition at Stanford Stadium and chaired that event for another decade. Serving as Marketing and Development Director, Gail coordinated special events and recruitment drives, created public relations materials, and represented The Blue Devils to the Concord Chamber of Commerce as well as civic and fraternal organizations throughout the area. As Promotions Manager, Gail coordinated all aspects of the souvenir sales on tour and in-house and developed our first e-commerce operation. She became an iconic and critical part of the drum corps activity, serving not only as the lead voice for how all drum corps merchandising operations were managed and operated, but also as a mentor and friend to all who worked in the souvenir marketplaces. Because of Gail, the corps’ souvenir trailer was not only a successful financial asset but became the social center for all drum corps fans, regardless of affiliation.
