Presenting The 2024 DCI World Championship Ring

Written By Mike Scott

The 2024 DCI World Champions Ring

Today the 2024 Bluecoats began ordering their championship rings! The ring for the 2024 DCI World Champion includes more than 40 stones, with 18 gold stones peppered throughout the Change Is Everything theme, to represent the corps’ first undefeated 18—0 season.

The red-colored ring also features two DCI Founders Trophies, representing the corps’ second World Championship. The corps’ final, and personal-best score of 98.75 is featured on the side. The ring holders will have a custom message engraved on the inside of their rings.

A slightly smaller version of the ring will be available to those that might prefer a petite ring for petite hands.

In addition to the ring, Bluecoats is celebrating our second World Championship with official merch! Fans can order t-shirts, hats, and other official championship merch at bluecoats.com/shop.

Earlier this month auditions for the 2025 corps opened. Musicians and colorguard performers of any skill level can attend an national audition event or audition virtually. Learn more, join the interest list, or register for an event today at bluecoats.com/join!
