www.dci.org/drummajors/ Hear what returning DCI drum majors who participated in the Drum Major Leadership Summit have to say about their experience and why they come back every year to attend this one-of-a-kind event.
The Drum Corps International Drum Major Leadership Summit is an annual weekend retreat for all first-time and veteran drum majors from DCI’s World and Open Class drum and bugle corps. Gene Monterastelli, Fran Kick, and previous DCI drum majors facilitate a series of specialized sessions designed just for drum majors during the DCI Annual Winter Business Meeting each year.
Creating an open, collegial, caring, non-competitive sharing of ideas, best practices, tips and leadership strategies, this exclusive insider-look at being a drum major in drum corps helps novice and experienced leaders alike. Interactively engaging with real-world information, this is the one chance DCI drum majors have an opportunity to “dig deep” into their roles, their responsibilities, and how they can do their jobs better during the upcoming season.
Topics include: conflict resolution, contest operations, ethics, goal-setting, group dynamics, leadership, media training, on-camera interviews, performance, PR, self-assessment, social media, strategies for making tough decisions, team-building and dealing with peer-to-peer dilemmas.
