The 2023 drum corps season is officially nearing its end, but competition is still hotter than ever.

With many corps still tweaking their shows in hopes of achieving top numbers and the caption race closer than ever, fans will want to be tuned in for the last big regional of the season ahead of the 2023 DCI World Championships in Indianapolis next week.

All the action kicks off on Friday at 7:00pm ET and Saturday at 6:30pm ET, and you're not going to want to miss a second of the excitement.

If You're Attending In-Person:

You'll want to arrive at the stadium early and bring cash for parking! The DCI Eastern Classic is historically one of the most traveled-to drum corps shows in the Northeast, and the parking situation around J. Birney Crum Stadium can be difficult to navigate. Spectator lots are small and most folks end up parking in surrounding neighborhoods or in paid lots around the stadium. You'll also want to pack comfortable shoes because it's likely you'll be doing a lot of walking!
