Carolina Crown has been named the 2026 FloMarching Fan Favorite winner for DCI Denton, held July 16. The result gives the corps the fan-vote spotlight at one of the season’s scheduled Drum Corps International stops.
The Fan Favorite program also gives voters a chance to win beyond the individual event result. Each submitted vote is entered into a drawing for a new set of four tires from Yokohama Tire.
Votes Also Count Toward Season-Long Awards
Every vote cast for a corps is added to a season-long tally that can help an ensemble earn a cash award. Yokohama Tire sponsors awards in World Class, All-Age Class, and Open Class.
| Class | Award | Announcement Timing |
|---|---|---|
| World Class | $5,000 | Beginning of DCI World Championship Finals Retreat |
| All-Age Class | $2,500 | Beginning of All-Age Class Championship Finals Retreat |
| Open Class | $2,500 | Friday evening after DCI World Championship Semifinals |
