DCI Southwestern Championship Review & Thoughts • Favorite Show Designs • 11th-14th Place Battles
On the Field
The first major showdown of the season is in the books, and the road to Indianapolis just got a lot more interesting.
In this episode of On the Field, Daniel Montoya Jr. and the GErMs break down everything that happened at the DCI Southwestern Championship in San Antonio, discussing the biggest surprises, standout performances, and what the results tell us as we head into the second half of the season.
We also debate our favorite show designs of 2026 and compare key battles throughout the rankings, including Phantom Regiment vs. Blue Stars and Madison Scouts vs. Pacific Crest, & Spirit of Atlanta. And do the Troopers have reason for concern after another competitive weekend?
Plus, we update our season predictions and reveal which placements feel written in pencil, ink, or permanent marker as the race to the DCI World Championships continues to take shape.
