With its 2025 production The Observer Effect, the Canton, OH corps won its tenth medal at the DCI World Championships in Indianapolis, IN. The competition marked the end of an 8,000 mile national tour featuring intense competition with the Boston Crusaders, who won their first-ever World Championship tonight.

During a year featuring such incredible drum corps, we extend our congratulations to DCI’s newest Champions, the Boston Crusaders! We also express our heartfelt gratitude to bronze medalists, the Santa Clara Vanguard, and all of the other incredible competitors in this year’s field.
