The first week of the 2015 Drum Corps International season has proven that nothing will come easy for DCI's World Class corps. The productions are more demanding and so are the judges. Dan Potter recaps the first week of competition and chats with Carolina Crown Drum Major Hunter Bown in today's Field Pass presented by Zildjian.
