DCI 2026 Week 2: Crossmen & Music City • Mankato, Georgia, & Tennessee • DCI Championship Facts
On the Field
he 2026 DCI season is moving toward its first major checkpoint, and the entire World Class field is about to collide in San Antonio.
In this Week 2 episode of On the Field, Daniel Montoya Jr. and the GErMs recap the action from Drums Along the Smokies, Drums Across America, and the Kiwanis Thunder of Drums before checking the current rankings in Corps Clash.
We also take a closer look at the 2026 productions from Crossmen and Music City, then test our drum corps knowledge with DCI Championship facts and trivia.
With only one week remaining until the Texas Tour and the DCI Southwestern Championship at the Alamodome, where every competing corps meets for the first time, which programs are building momentum, and which competitive matchups should we be watching?
