 2011s penultimate weekend | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 20:32

Its the 2011 season's penultimate weekend and the action is heating up. Dan Potter gets us ready for the start of Finals Week, throws down a new Time Capsule challenge and interviews an Indianapolis TV personality who totally gets drum corps in today's Field Pass presented by Zildjian.

 The push is on | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 6:17

The Academy is celebrating the corps' 10th anniversary this summer. And, as Dan Potter tells us in today's Field Pass presented by Zildjian, the corps is pressing hard to finally push its way into the World Class Top 12.

 The Brothers Pouncey | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 4:21

The drum corps activity is truly a family affair for the Pounceys. Cadets age-out drum major Ben Pouncey has been training his brother Brad this summer to take his place on the podium in 2012. Dan Potter learns more about this dynamic duo in todays Field Pass presented by Zildjian.

 Dutch treat | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 7:54

Sometimes, those of us lucky enough to be around drum corps a lot take what we have for granted. What if you only got to see live drum corps once every five years? Or, what if it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience? For some Dutch drum corps members touring the U.S, that's exactly where they find themselves this week. And, as we hear in today's Field Pass presented by Zildjian, the members of Jubal are trying to soak in as much of the DCI experience as they can.

 The final two weeks are underway | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 8:50

A huge weekend of competition on the Drum Corps International Tour leaves the Blue Devils at the top of the World Class going into the last two weeks of the season. Dan Potter recaps the action in today's Field Pass presented by Zildjian.

 Brass innovator | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 12:54

He pushed through rules changes and made innovations that brought the bugle into the 20th century. Now, Racine Kilties instructor and arranger Ken Norman is going into the DCI Hall of Fame. Dan Potter introduces us to Ken and gives us a new Time Capsule challenge in today's Field Pass presented by Zildjian.

 The rejuvenated Cascades | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 8:34

The Cascades' equipment truck was rear-ended by another semi in Texas a few days ago. Much of the corps' pit equipment as well as the trailer are a complete loss. As we hear in today's Field Pass presented by Zildjian, the wreck is a dark spot on an otherwise bright summer for the rejuvenated Cascades.

 Climbing the Devil's Staircase with SCV | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 9:28

If you've ever felt as though you were caught in hell and couldn't get out, you should relate to this year's Santa Clara Vanguard production. Dan Potter takes us up 'The Devil's Staircase' with Vanguard's visual caption head and one of the horn line's marathon runners in today's Field Pass presented by Zildjian.

 Crossmen's Renewal | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 11:14

'Renewal.' That's the name of Crossmen's 2011 production. But, it's also the process the corps has been going through since moving to San Antonio. Dan Potter explores both aspects of this Texas corps' renewal in today's Field Pass presented by Zildjian.

 Showdown at the Drum Corps Corral | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 10:41

The San Antonio Shootout leaves the Cavaliers on top, but not by much. A new venue and increased participation make for an exciting 2011 World Class Individual and Ensemble Competition. A nine-year drum corps vet contemplates aging-out. And a brand new Time Capsule challenge! Dan Potter has it all in today's Field Pass presented by Zildjian.

 Phantom Regiment's Juliet in depth | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 8:9

While Phantom Regiment's 2011 production of 'Juliet' isn't a literal re-telling of the most famous love story of all-time, it does hold as much Shakespearean drama as the original. Dan Potter explores the concepts behind the show in today's Field Pass presented by Zildjian.

 The math between Angels and Demons | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 8:8

The drill formations for the Cadets' 2011 production, 'Between Angels and Demons,' is a mathematical puzzle with two differently costumed sets of performers constantly meshing and separating. Good thing the show's visual designer is a mathematician. Dan Potter gets inside the head of drill designer Jeff Sacktig in today's Field Pass presented by Zildjian.

 At the Tour of Champions series kickoff | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 6:18

The first DCI Tour of Champions event was Sunday night in Rockford, Ill. Dan Potter was there and tells us if it was a success in the eyes of some of the people who put it together, in today's Field Pass presented by Zildjian.

 Drum Corps Days | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 15:14

What moved an east coast high school band director to write a rhythm-and-blues chart about drum corps? What big shows are on-tap for this weekend? And, who won last week's Time Capsule contest? Dan Potter answers these questions, throws down a new Time Capsule challenge and plays some classics from the DCI archives in today's Field Pass presented by Zildjian.

 How the show goes on | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 7:19

Organizing and running a local Drum Corps International show might seem like a relatively simple task. Get a show date and a lineup of corps from DCI, find housing and volunteers, promote the event and stick to the schedule on show night. Simple, right? Well, in reality, as we hear in today's Field Pass presented by Zildjian, making a show run smoothly is a much more complex than you might imagine.
