DCI Returns to California on July 5 for 2026 DCI West, where the top drum corps on the West Coast will meet in Stanford Stadium.

There's multiple storylines to watch this weekend, notably the matchup between Santa Clara Vanguard, Bluecoats and Blue Devils. With the exception of a Boston Crusaders win in 2025, every season since 2019 has featured either Santa Clara or Blue Devils winning the event.

It’s the first time these three groups will compete head-to-head, and we can’t wait.

Multiple other Open Class groups return to the spotlight at Stanford. Golden Empire and Sparta Ignite are among the local corps competing.

With a night of incredible performances on the way, here’s the full schedule of events for this weekend.
