DCI announces 10-year contract extension with Indianapolis
DCI Executive Director and CEO Dan Acheson joined with Indianapolis mayor Greg Ballard and Visit Indy President and CEO Leonard Hoops this morning to announce a 10-year contract extension with the City of Indianapolis. The agreement will keep the DCI World Championships and headquarters offices in the city through 2028.
Since locating its headquarters in Indianapolis in 2008, Drum Corps International has brought hundreds of thousands of performers and their fans to town for World Championships Week festivities as well as for many other events throughout the year. The initial 10-year commitment has translated into millions and millions of dollars for the city in tourism, entertainment, hospitality services, retail, and multiple other economic sectors.
Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard said, “The City of Indianapolis is proud to be home to Drum Corps International’s headquarters and annual World Championships. We are especially appreciative of the strong partnership that has developed since moving DCI here, and we are excited to continue building on that relationship over the next 10 years.”
Drum Corps International Executive Director & CEO Dan Acheson said, “We are pleased to extend our commitment to Indianapolis and continue the many mutually beneficial relationships we enjoy here. Since our founding in 1972, Drum Corps International has been furthering our mission to provide a life-changing experience for young people through the art of marching music performance. The City of Indianapolis provides the perfect environment for our performance and education organization to do just that.”
