A new initiative has started in Italy to encourage Italian musicians and guard members to join an American drum corps. The project is called 'Italians in DCI & DCA'.
The idea, based on the 'Dutch in DCI' foundation in The Netherlands, comes from Nicola Esposito of the national music organisation Italia Marching Show Bands (IMSB), which aims to promote the marching music activity in Italy. He remembers having difficulties when he wanted to audition for a DCI corps in 2007". Despite the help of fellow corps members, he didn't know how to contact corps and staff, what to expect from an audition weekend, how to get a visa, how to arrange medical tests necessary to obtain documents.
'Italians in DCI and DCA' is not only available to members of the IMSB, but to everyone who wants to march a DCI or DCA corps. The goal is to increase the Italian presense in foreign competitions, support ambitious people who want to march abroad, and to increase the awareness and technical level of Italian individuals and groups.
Interested parties can get more information about the Italians in DCI & DCA initiative on Facebook.
