CONTENTS FEATURES Spotlight on Premier Events Throughout the summer, Drum Corps International’s Premier Events bring top corps together in some of America’s best arenas. 2011’s Premier calendar includes some new venues and the debut of the Tour of Champions Series.

50/50: Celebrating a half-century of Pioneer and Glassmen history From humble beginnings in 1961 to World Class corps today, Pioneer and Glassmen have produced great shows on the field—and enhanced the lives of several generations of members off of it.

Open Arms DCI’s Open Class embraces a diverse array of groups, welcoming new members and fans by producing great entertainment and friendly—but fierce—competition.

DCI XL As Drum Corps International gets set for the 40th DCI World Championships this August, we’re combining our Timeline of Champions with a look back on the magical moments, historic milestones, and great memories that have made the season finale of Marching Music’s Major League an unforgettable experience.
