You can help make our members' dreams come true!! The FREE Players Drum Corps (Drumline, Color Guard and Pit) have been selected to perform in exhibition at the 2018 DCI (Drum Corps International) World Championships. You can help us make history during the week of August 6, 2018 as the 1st Special Needs Corps to ever perform at DCI World!

This is an opportunity that comes once in a lifetime. Many of our members never had the opportunity to participate in any mainstream music programs growing up. They were frequently excluded and not given a chance to prove themselves.
Our Corps would love the opportunity to share their talents and abilities with the world! Our members strive to alleviate prejudice, breakdown barriers and demonstrate that anyone can communicate through music. Help us show the world that anything is possible with heart, hard work and the desire to push oneself beyond any previously conceived limitations.

Please help us make history, so we can fill our members hearts with pride and joy. DCI World is a very large undertaking for us and we cannot do this without your help!
To travel halfway across the country for a week with 65 members who have Disabilities can be very costly. We need to ensure that everyone is properly supervised and all medical accommodations are met. We want to ensure that everyone has the best experience possible and that all our members can afford to travel with us!
