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. http://www.dci.org/audio/2011/field_pass/20110802_fieldpass.mp3 Tue, 2 Aug 2011 16:00:00 EDT 7:54 dci, field pass, dan potter, drum corps international, zildjian, sony, marching band, marching music, major league Drum Corps International 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.
