The Long and Winding Road

In this episode, Matthew recaps a few of the huge moves we've seen from DCI's Silly Season (0:00), discusses the BOA season so far (6:40), and chats with Daniel Sanchez, one of the forces behind TXBands.com, about one of the wildest Austin regionals we've seen in a long time (12:33) (correction - Stony Point is the second youngest RRISD school, it was opened in 1999. Cedar Ridge opened its doors in 2010)
