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!
